A special EFY edition of "things that make me smile"

Last night I travelled to the land down south for an EFY reunion BBQ. It was quite epic, if I do say so myself. It was great to see the people I spent my entire summer with. We became almost as close as family during our eight weeks together. This summer was filled with experiences I wouldn't trade for anything.

So, in the spirit of reminiscing, I give you:

Sunday Thought

"That's the general rule: find a way to give, find a way to sacrifice. You'll do better and be better and feel better if you've extended your hand and your offering. Maybe all you have give is your love, your kindness. Maybe it's just time and courtesy. But sometimes, that's the most important thing to give."

~ Jeffrey R. Holland (from a fireside at the Salt Lake University Institute September 2007)

Today let's remember all those who sacrificed so much to save others, and then, let's find just a little way to give of ourselves.
