The Plan of Happiness has helped me to realize families can be together forever, but at the same time, I kind of struggle with having parents who are both divorced. I had to pray and know that whatever Heavenly Father plans for me, I will see my family one day. Even though my family is not all members of the gospel, I do know I have a lot of work to do on this side and the other side of the veil, and the temple is what makes me happy. I have been blessed with wonderful families who love me. If I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. I am not perfect, but I strive to be a better person and to follow the Savior’s path.”
