My family today is still committed to the church, my brothers are not prominent leaders, but regular members, they have served as teachers, elders quorum presidents, my sisters also are still in the church. My older sister married a returned missionary, my younger sister did not marry a member of the church, her husband is not formally a member. Then my older brother is married, has a wife I have ten nieces and nephews that were born in the church.
I still have not married, but my older brother served a mission and two other siblings-so it’s three of us that served full-time missions, we really enjoyed serving a mission. And well now we are waiting for the nieces and nephews to take their turn in serving a mission. The church has been everything for us, I have a firm testimony that the church is true, in the church I found authentic families, authentic friends.
