The Purpose

I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or more commonly known as the "Mormons", a nickname given to us.

We believe in many wonderful things. One of which is to "Endure to the End". It means to continue to follow God's Commandments forever. When we are baptized into this glorious church, we promise to do this. I have taken this challenge on. It definitely is very hard sometimes. I have gone through many trials and hardships. (I bet everyone has.) But there is one thing that helps me keep going. Which is the blessings our dear Heavenly Father has given me personally.

I have just recently arrived home from a two year mission serving as an LDS missionary in the New York area. I had many opportunities to help people, most of which were those in the Deaf Community. I  learned American Sign Language and taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

There were many times I felt like I wanted to quit. I emailed my mom during these difficult times and one thing she suggested was to keep a Gratitude Journal. To list three things a day that I was thankful for. I took on that Challenge.

 I would like to continue my Gratitude Journal on this awesome blog. Welcome to "The Happy days of Zachary S. Davenport".
