Thank You, Mitt Romney

I just want to express my love and gratitude for our republican candidate who ran against Barack Obama this year. Although I'm pretty disappointed to see our country turn down one of the best candidates we've had in years, I'm thankful to be a free young woman in the most amazing country in the world.
Tonight at mutual, Brother Payne read this message from the First Presidency:

We congratulate President Obama on winning a second term as President of the United States.

After a long campaign, this is now a time for Americans to come together. It is a long tradition among Latter-day Saints to pray for our national leaders in our personal prayers and in our congregations. We invite Americans everywhere, whatever their political persuasion, to pray for the President, for his administration and the new Congress as they lead us through difficult and turbulent times. May our national leaders reflect the best in wisdom and judgment as they fulfill the great trust afforded to them by the American people.

We also commend Governor Romney for engaging at the highest level of our democratic process, which, by its nature, demands so much of those who offer themselves for public service. We wish him and his family every success in their future endeavors.


I want to really make sure that I start praying for our country on a more regular basis, and for our president as well. I believe any man or woman who has the desire to take America's problems into their own hands is a hero, regardless of their political views. I'm so grateful that we are free, and that our country isn't ruled by some evil dictator.
I am grateful that Mitt Romney made it so far. I supported him until the end, watching the debates, listening to some of his speeches (including his wife's!!!), painted my nails with his R slogan, and even wore my Romney shirt to sleep on election night! Haha! Here's to the next four years. May the odds be ever in our favor ;)
Loves,
Kat
