I am going to try to do a Spotlight on someone every Sunday from now on. Today I want to spotlight my Dad. Today being Fathers Day I figured that today would be a great day to spotlight him. these are some Characteristics that I admire in my Dad
F: Friendly, Fun, Faithful, Forgetful {Just Kidding;) Forgiving, Family Man, gives Freely
A: Athletic, Admired, Artistic, Awesome, Amazing high Achiever, All ways there.
T: Trustworthy, Thrifty, TIGHT, Thankful.

E: Educated, Exciting, Elect.
R: Reverent, Respectful, Resourceful, Righteous.
My FATHER is the Greatest, I LOVE HIM SOOO MUCH! When we were in Heaven we got first choice and I choose Him - Sorry Guys I took the BEST.
My Favorite Memory with Dad,
Sitting down with Dad almost every Sunday night to read stories out of the Friend.
Listening to Stories of his childhood.
When I was about 6,7, or 8, I Would Sing "I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home" When He Got home from Work every night.
I Want to start a tag for Fathers on Fathers Day.
The Rules are:

WOW! I can't believe that I haven't posted since May 20th!
Last Week (May 26th-May31st) I took my member friend to EFY and it was AMAZING! The Whole week was the most spiritual week in my life, there were a lot of miracles.
Starting at the beginning:
On Friday (May23rd) Kylea's Dad Don decided to let Kylea go to EFY with me at BYU. Then on Monday we went to register/check in. When we got there we where told that we needed to show up at 10:00 to get on a list for any cancellations that they would have that day and then we should come back to 12:45 and get registered. Well is didn't quite work that way. When we got to there all the people that were supposed to be there weren't there and they wouldn't be there for a half hour. Grandpa dropped us of and then left so we were alone for a half hour waiting (this was a good thing since Grandpa would of gotten Mad). When it can time to register there wasn't a list to put her name on and they told us that there wasn't any way that she could get in. the lady talked to mom and then finally said that she would try to work it out and to just hang out for a while. by know it is raining, so we hid our stuff under a over hang and then went to the subway that was about 3 blocks away.
We did get in and got to be roommates (a plus) and had a great week. On Tuesday she started asking questions about the church and by Thursday at testimony meeting she shocked me by getting up and saying that she had felt that she was supposed to be here and that she knew that all the classes (I had tried to get her to go to the classes that wouldn't by so overwhelming but she wanted to go to some ones that would go into depth about the church and other things) and such was the truth. Later that night we found out that two of the girls in our group didn't have a Dad that was worthy to hold the Priesthood and one of those girls didn't have a Mom that believed either. Kylea started asking questions about what would happen to her and her parents after they died.
On Sunday after we had gotten home I was reading my Scriptures and was thinking/asking what I could say to Kylea about the church and so forth and I found this Scripture:
Mattew 10:18-20
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
And that hit me so hard because I know that it was true.
Later that day I felt impressed to ask her to come to youth conference with my last weekend and she asked while she was still on that phone and said Yes!
At youth conference there was a ward that are her backdoor neighbors that was there and so that made it a little more comfortable and we had a BLAST!!!
