The Effects of a Family

    During class this week as we talked about how the family unit is getting smaller and seeming to be less important to the world, I couldn't stop thinking about how selfish the world is. Everything seems to be based on self fulfillment now. Yes, I think that couples need to know each other and have a stable relationship before they bring kids into their world, but I also think that they can't let their desires for owning a house, or having a lot of money, push starting a family back. But it is also important for other people to not judge couples who wait to have children. It is their decision and we don't know what is going on in their lives.
    When we talked about who is affected by not having children, it's crazy to realize how basically everything is affected by it. All of society is affected. Also, when we Brother Williams asked us where the children go that aren't born into the family they were supposed to, it made me sad to think about my family. What if my parents stopped at 3? What if they stopped at 8? Where would I be? Would I be born into a family that already had the gospel? Would the family I was born into be as prepared to provide for me? These questions all made me extremely grateful for my parents. Ten children would not be easy in any way and I'm so grateful that my parents kept going even after 9. Tonight as I had a dance party with my nephews and played dodgeball  with them, I couldn't help but be grateful for the family I have and that I was born into a house full of some of the craziest, funniest, and best people I know.
