Day 7-A picture of someone that has the biggest impact on you

This post is asking me to choose someone that has had the biggest impact of my life. A lot of people have influenced my life and made me who I am today.  I am so thankful to have many wonderful friends and family members that have helped mold me into the me of today and who continue to assist in helping me in my quest to be a better person.  Thus it is hard to choose just one person.

If I have to choose just one person I would choose a missionary I met at the MTC (Missionary Training Center). To the left is a picture of us at the MTC.

Through our interactions I learned a couple of important lessons. First, I learned that I wanted to have a spiritual relationship with the person I marry. Unfortunately I forgot this, but after a miraculous reunion 13 years later he remind me of this. The second lesson was actually taught to me by his daughter after we reconnected 13 years later.  She taught me that I need to enjoy life and stop rushing through it.  For some reason I am always so focused on getting things accomplished that I forget to take time to smell the roses.  She taught me that there is more to life then just checking things off a list. This helped me reevaluate having children. Now I can see that having children in my life can be a blessing.
