Huntsman Family Motto

Most of my family (my sister, brother-in-law,
sister-in-law, and neice are missing though).

    
     Growing up I thought that this was the most lame thing ever! I didn't get why we would have a "family motto". My parents would make us say it regularly and it drove me nuts for some reason but over time it stuck with me and I can still remember it. This is how it goes-
     "I will honor and respect the Huntsman name which means:
H is for happiness. (We are a happy family.)
U is for united as a family. (We work together.)
N is for noble. (We have high moral principles.)
T is for trustworthy. (A Huntsman can be trusted.)
S is for sealed in the temple. (Married in the temple for eternity.)
M is for missionary minded. (We share the gospel of Jesus Christ!)
A is for ambitious. (We have a desire to succeed.)
N is for Never A Better Family!" (There isn't a better family! At least for me.)    
     Looking back I'm grateful to remember this and it makes me want to better represent my family's name. Family is so important and I don't know what I would do without them. Take the time to appreciate your family this day and let them know how much you love them!

Good News!

     It seems like it can be tough nowadays to find good news. When you turn on the TV everything tends to be about war, murderer and any other terrible thing happening in the world. It seems kind of like there isn't much good in the world. Well that's where the Gospel comes into play. The word gospel actually comes from an Old English word meaning "good news" and that's exactly what the Gospel of Jesus Christ is all about! Despite all of the hardships and trials we face there is good news because of Jesus Christ. I know that this is true and it brings hope to us all!
