Dear Family,
I don't know how to express my gratitude towards all those who have made an impact in my life. There are so many aspects to our lives that when someone touches them. We have to much to thank them for. In this life there are people who do live their own lives, and there are people who touch others lives.
We could ask ourselves who won the last 4 world series or the last 7 super-bowls or any other great accomplishment, and see how fast we answer the question. Then we could ask ourselves to name 5 people who have influenced our lives. Then to me it becomes clear that in this life it suddenly becomes much more important to make an influence in someones life rather then simply gain recognition from the world.
Among the thousands of little acts that I count and dear and precious to me. The experience that are held the closest to my heart are the worthy examples of my family. Of those examples, my Uncle Joe's has taught more than I can express, and the only way to properly express it would be with a simple Thank You. I say it now, and I hope to tell him again one day those two words that so beautifully express our love and gratitude. Thank you for the example you have left to all of us.
Elder McShinsky
