Us.

Sometimes in your life you are privileged to come across a person or a family that makes an eternal difference. Such is the case with the Hocklander family. Jon, the guy who introduced me to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints, was married at the Nauvoo temple on Saturday, June 14th. It was an amazing, beautiful and spiritual experience. It has been eight years since I was baptized Jan. 8, 2000 by Elder Wick Udy. Since then life has taken Jon and I on a crazy journey but we have both ended up in the right place - married to wonderful companions in the House of the Lord. I hope that everyone meets someone in their life that makes them see more than the physical world around them and glimpse into the secret places of their heart.
