Special Military Fireside

It was a great privilage for me and Adam to attend a special fireside held here in Utah on the 31st for all Military members in Utah. Click here to see. President Uchtdorf, 2nd counselor in the first presidency in the LDS church, spoke to us for almost an hour. He said so many amazing things that we were able take into our lives and build stong testimonies on. One topic he talked on that Adam and I already had a strong expeirence with was working together toward our goal of an eternal family even though oft times we are far apart. When Adam leaves we do this. We pray, read scriptures, and continue to keep the covenants we made in the temple. By doing this it is really true that distance becomes shorter and hearts are made stronger and united as one. We have lived this principle and have seen the blessing from it.

Being in the presence of that many faithful members of the church and the military was so powerful. I can't even describe my feelings of graditude and love that I was feeling. These people have sacrificed so much to serve God and country, and are still faithful to the covenants they have made. Adam is one of these peoples. He is so loyal, honest, and self sacrificing. I have personally witnessed his sacrifices and his acheivements in serving God and Country.

When I read the scripture in Alma 48:17 about Moroni. "If all men had been, and were, and ever would be,like unto him, behold, the very powers of hell would be shaken forever; yea the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children."..... I think of Adam....... He is like unto Moroni. He is a Soldier who is loyal and faithfull to God in all that he does. He has the strenght and courage of Moroni to fight for others freedoms and stand up for truth. He serves our country as faithfully as he serves the Lord. I am proud and honored to be his wife.
"No greater love hath a man, then this to lay down his life for another." John 15:13 The Savior showed us the true meaning of love and service. This is what those who serve in the military are willing to do and have done to protect Americans and our Freedoms. I'm gratefull to have been at the feet of an Apostle of Jesus Christ for an hour and feel of his love and support he has for these great men and women.
