A Choice Land



"And never could be a people more blessed than were they, and more prospered by the hand of the Lord. And they were in a land that was choice above all lands, for the Lord hath spoken it." Ether 10:28

I'm grateful to live in a country where I can worship as I choose, live where I choose, work how I choose, raise my family as I choose.

I'm grateful to my ancestors who came to this land, fought for this land, and in some cases died for this land. I'm grateful for their sacrifices that I may have the life I live today.

I'm grateful for the sacrifices of our Founding Fathers, who were inspired and directed by God to form this country.

God Bless the USA!

We bought them at the Discovery museum at the Gateway--downtown Salt Lake City. But I found them on Amazon for the same price.
