Jane - I m thankful for Joseph Smith because of his great courage amidst all of the opposition he faced. He was a great man who was so near to God, and so familiar with His mysteries. He is a great example to me of humility, righteousness, and optimism. Because of the sacrifices he made, we have the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine & Covenants, the priesthood, temples, and so many other blessings! I'm also grateful for my parents and their example to me, and the sacrifices they've made for me. And for my whole family! It's full of amazing people.
Bright - From her letters, Bright is thankful to be in Louisiana and and enjoying the people she has met. Here's her email. julia.ostergar

BTW - Joseph Smith's birthday is December 5th. My great uncle, Simeon Oquist, painted a portrait of Joseph Smith. He painted it so that his son Selfrid (who still lives in St. George) could sell it and help with his tuition at BYU. One man didn't like it because he painted Joseph with white pants. What do you think? I believe he used the death mask as a starting place. The picture was lost for a while and rediscovered recently in the home of a family in Springville. The portraits of my grandparents in the dining room were also painted by Simeon as my grandparents wedding gift. He painted the King of Sweden at least twice. https://www.facebook.com/Cluboquist/?fref=ts
