Happy Thoughts

Here's some thoughts about 1 Nephi :-) 9/9/19:  Chapter 1 - Nephi is such a good dude. He was born to good, righteous parents and despite his trials and brothers picking on him, he still has a stronger testimony than I'll ever have.

WEEK 2: 9/20 - Love and appreciate all Life is good! I have a lot going on at school, but I'm keeping up, and I'm honestly happier than I've ever been during the semester. What a time! I have a goal to love and appreciate everyone I can. In the tem...
