I have many loves in my life; the gospel, my scriptures and my camera. If I ever lost my camera I'm just not sure what I would do. With this powerful tool I can take gorgeous pictures and at the same time capture just a glimpse of my life. I especially love my camera on my mission. There have been many precious moments that I've captured with my lens that I hope to never forget. However, I have found that there a moments that just can't be photographed. Like the first time I knew I felt the Holy Ghost guiding me in my life, or the time that I really felt God's love for me. One time in particular was when we were teaching an amazing guy in Napa. It was then I could tell by looking into his eyes that the Spirit was confirming to him the truthfulness of this gospel. These moments are precious to me that have brought me so much joy.
There are so many things in this gospel that aren't tangible. We can't see Jesus Christ in person, we can't hold the gold plates, we don't have a picture to prove that Joseph Smith saw God the Father and Jesus Christ. These are great things but we have to take a step of faith and believe. As my friend Kenny in Santa Rosa said, "Faith is believing even if you can't see, touch or taste it." I invite you to find joy and pray to a loving Heavenly Father who is waiting to answer your prayers. I know His Son Jesus Christ can bring us so much joy that can't even begin to be captured in a photograph.
