I tend to approach life trying to do it on my own a lot of times, not unlike Peter.

I'm okay leaving the boat, but I want to be the strong one to not have to need anybody else.

And Tim Farns, I'm living down in Utah. We've got five

children, 31 to 21, sons at either end and three girls in the middle, and six grandchildren that are

six under six. And so we're grateful for that opportunity to spend time with family. I'm grateful this

opportunity to spend time with the church in a unique and different way with the youth throughout

the world. And it's a blessing to me and my family to be able to see the youth differently and
