Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my dad's birthday. He is such an amazing man and I am lucky to be able to call him "Dad." One thing that's been on my mind for a while now is how grateful I am for his testimony of the Gospel.
My Dad is a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I won't share his conversion story here, but it's a pretty amazing story. I just wanted to share how his conversion and his testimony have blessed me as one of his children. My parents are wonderful examples of faithful members of the church. My dad has made the study of the gospel and its principles a lifelong pursuit. It's easy to see his love for his Savior just by listening to him. He's made a lot of sacrifices for the gospel, but he sees them all as great learning opportunities. Right now, he donates a lot of time in tending to members of the church in the area where he lives and speaking in meetings, and I'm pretty sure it's exhausting at times, but he gives it freely. He also has an amazing grasp of the principles of life and of the gospel. I wish I had listened better when I was younger, but we've had some pretty good talks lately.

Thanks Dad. I love you!
