Day #7: A Picture of Someone/Something that has the biggest impact on you
I thought for awhile about what I was going to do for this post. There are so many influential people and things in my life, so it's hard to pick just one. All of those things and people have a big impact on me and who I am, but usually for different reasons. However, most of those things lead back to one greater power in my life, my religion. As probably everyone that reads this knows, I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was born into a family where the Gospel was very prevalent, and I am so grateful for that. The picture above is of the beautiful Salt Lake City Temple. The Temple is a constant reminder to me of my goal to obtain eternal life and return to live with my family forever in the presence of Heavenly Father. Whenever I am struggling or having a bad day, I always turn to the Gospel of Jesus Christ to help me, and more often than not, I go to the Temple, whether to do temple work or just to sit on the grounds. It's one of the only things that can always assuredly bring me peace. Most of the important things I have in my life--my parents, my family, many of my friends, Forrest--I have because of of being a member of this Church. I know that my greatest happiness does and will come from the truths, promises, principles that I have obtained through my knowledge of the Gospel, and I am so grateful for that.

I totally agree with you! I mean we only know each other because I happened to join the church and wanted to attend BYU. I often wonder what my experience would've been like otherwise, but whenever I think about it, I can't see myself anywhere else besides BYU.
