This past Sunday, Travis and I had the opportunity to speak in church! He was so worried I would only take 5 minutes and sit down and leave him with 30. He even threatened to email our Bishop to request that he speaks first and I go last to leave me with the rest of the time! But, I ended up taking 15 minutes {thank you very much} and he spoke for about 18 minutes---he actually had to cut some of his talk, haha.
Our topic was "finding joy in the journey," which is the title of a talk President Monson gave in general conference {http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2008/10/finding-joy-in-the-journey?lang=eng}. I loved our topic. No matter what happens in life, there is always something to be grateful for and in turn, we can find joy in any circumstance {I based my talk on 2 Nephi 2:24-25}. Travis talked about four ways to find joy in this life: obedience, trusting in the Lord, setting goals, and keeping track of the journey.
"Whatever hour God has blessed you with, take it with grateful hand, nor postpone your joys from year to year, so that in whatever place you have been, you may say that you have lived happily." -Horace
