From the arrival of light and darkness, earth and sea, to the abundance of plants and animals, the majesty unfolding could likely be described in grander terms. Yet, the meaning is clear.

I was born a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. My parents were converts, and the first in their families to be married in the temple.
