I have six brothers, they always keep me
laughing—that is, when I’m not trying to keep their rambunctious little selves
in some state of peace and quiet. My mom is my best friend and my dad is my
go-to for advice.
I love living in Utah, but I left my heart across
the ocean in Portugal, where I served as a full time missionary. Portuguese
sometimes comes more naturally than English does, and there is something
beautiful about cobblestone and red tiled roofs that makes me smile. Someday I
hope to take everything that I’ve learned and live outside of Utah, to be part
of the minority and show that being a light in an increasingly dark world is
completely possible.
I handle stress best by pounding the pavement—I’m
not fast by any means, but I love to feel my lungs working and my legs burning.
I love anything well-worded, from British Literature to blog posts. I could
spend forever in a library and never lose interest, yet the sight of stars
makes me dream and I can’t escape my obsession with road trips and mountains
and red rock. I’m a dedicated journal writer, and I believe that the best way
to see God’s hand is to remind yourself about it every night.
I believe that changing the world is a lot simpler
than it sounds. Recently, I discovered that my dreams were too small, and I’ve
been working on reinventing them ever since. As a missionary, my purpose was to
“invite others to come unto Christ,” and I can still do that today. What better
way to inspire change than to testify of the One through whom all change is
possible?
