Sister Pielstick and Farewell at Father's Day

Today was my Farewell talk. 15 days until I leave for Utah. One day before I start work at the most explosive place in town.

I love father's day... And not meaning to offend anyone, but my dad is the best dad in the world. Where would the world be without my austere father who, on occasion, can be seen kiteboarding, surfing, reggaeing, or studying. I know that my father has taught me many of the things that I will be using on Temple Square... his dry sense of humor, his punctuality, his communication skills. He is the reason I collect stories, of all the ones I've collected I still love his the best. (President Monson has a few that take close second though)

He helps me understand how I can be closer to my Heavenly Father. It was his example that finally got me into a steady scripture study habit in high school, and he was the one to help me when I was feeling lost or alone. I am so blessed to be watched over and protected by two amazing individuals like these men. I'm sad that I am leaving one to serve another full time, but I look forward to seeing both in person when I get to the Celestial Kingdom.
