My Dad: In Honor of Father's Day


My dad is my hero. He always has been. When I was a little girl, I loved to run errands with him just so that I could spend time with him. 

My dad has taught me to always do the right thing, regardless of the consequences. 

He has taught me to put the Lord first, to "go and do the things the Lord commands," and to "help build the kingdom of God."


He has taught me that "dads know everything" and that "the only good gopher is a dead gopher."

He has taught me to work hard. He is the hardest worker I know (ask anyone and everyone). He works hard at everything he does.

He has taught me how to maneuver through disappointments with faith and hope. He has had many and still perseveres.

He is an innovator at everything he does. 

He has shown me how a priesthood leader blesses a home. 

He has mastered delegation and is an extraordinary leader. 


My dad has many accomplishments; he is a New York Times Bestselling Author, he has grown his company, he is a revered speaker and facilitator, he has been an amazing mission president, stake president, and MTC branch president, but the title I love best is that he is my father. 

 I hope I can be like him one day.This Father's Day was so wonderful; my parents and I sang some of our old favorite songs, and it reminded me once again that "I was born of goodly parents." 


This Father's Day my dad treated us with a mini-concert! Another one of his many talents.
