I live in the most populous area of my country. I love living here and discovering new places with my family. I live with my parents, my younger sister, and our dog, Meghan. I love being with them. We laugh a lot and try to do new and interesting things. We like some things better than others, but the experiences stay with us forever.

I’m in my last year of school, and I’m getting ready for finals. I’m a little nervous, but I trust the Lord to help me through them.

I love going to church every Sunday. There are a lot of young people in my ward, so the activities are fun. The youth around me help me stay firm in the gospel. I can tell they have a lot of faith.

I’m preparing to serve a mission. I want to share the gospel with others as missionaries did with my family. I know it will change their lives and mine forever. I’m grateful to know that I can have an eternal family.
