10 people who influenced me

List 10 people who have influenced you and describe how.

1) The first person that has influenced me is my mom. My mom raised nine children, sewed our clothes, canned our food, baked fresh bread, and has always been there to uplift me.

2) The second person who has influenced me is my husband. He has shown me that no matter how little you have, you make the best of it and go with the flow. He never passes by anyone stranded on the side of the road or an accident without stopping to help even if that means he will get hurt in the process.

3) The third person who has influenced me is my sister Alli. She was always like a second mom growing up and she set a good example for me growing up. My husband and I chose Alli and her husband to be our children's godparents because we know they would raise our children with as much love as my husband and I would.

4) The fourth person who influenced me is my sister Sarah. She does not think twice if a family member is in need. She makes room in her house if someone needs a place to stay until they get back on their feet. She is also a very hard worker.

5) The fifth person/people who have influenced my life is my children. My children have influenced my husband and I by helping us learn patience, humility, sacrifice, and love. They are amazing and each have their own unique personalities and talents that they portray. 

6) The sixth person/people who influenced me would be my Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. I may not be able to see them but I know they are watching over me and guiding me. They put people in our paths to help us learn and grow and also modern day prophets to lead and guide me. They provided a way to return back to them.

7) The seventh person/people who influenced me is a woman and her husband that my husband and I met when we lived in Idaho. My husband, children and I would not be an eternal family if it weren't for this loving couple.

8) The eighth person who has influenced me is my Uncle John. He took my whole family in after my house burnt down the summer before my sophomore year of high school, until my mom could find a new home. He was always like a second dad to me and has shown me how to love unconditionally.

9) The ninth person who has influenced me is my Uncle Roger. He not only saved my life when I was around 10 years old (I almost drowned in Lake Michigan), but he also provided a way for me to see my grandmother after eight long years.

10) The tenth person/people who has influenced me is my church family. They have been there whenever my husband and our family needed a meal because we were down from surgery or sickness. They are truly our family and teach us so many lessons in life that helps us grow.
