Father’s Day Spotlight editor LuAnne Reese

A few of the Young Women in our ward were willing to share their feelings about their fathers with us.

Samantha Stoddard about her father Howard: “My dad goes the extra mile, he is always willing to help and he can fix pretty much anything. He graduated in graphic design and he always uses his art skills on things like a birthday card, a school project or a pinewood derby car. My dad always helps my mom; he cooks, cleans and sometimes he even washes the dishes. On Saturday night if we don’t have what we need for Sunday dinner, he’ll go buy it, even if it’s 10:30 at night. I love my dad and I want to marry someone just like him. But most of all he has a strong testimony of the gospel. He gives us father’s blessings, and I’m glad to have the priesthood in our home.”

Markell Anderson about her father Dirk: “There isn’t just one thing I like about my dad, other than he is my best friend. My brothers and I don’t call him dad, we call him ‘Fabio’. He can make anyone laugh at anytime. If you ever want to go on a trip you don’t have to ask him twice. He’s an awesome guy, who I look up to!”

Laura Evans about her father Gary: “Last year my dad and I went on a road trip to go camping at Little Wild Horse slot canyon, it’s right by Goblin Valley and Moab. We camped in the middle of nowhere. We had tons of fun, eating junk food and telling funny stories around the campfire. We hiked about 3 miles in a beautiful slot canyon and came across Bowtie Arch and Corona Arch. We took lots of pictures along our hike, on the way up and on the way back. When we were coming to the end of our hike my dad told me he could tell is getting old because the hike was only 3 miles long but it felt like it was 10 miles to him! I loved being with my dad, camping and hiking . . . just me and him. He’s a wonderful daddy and I have so many good memories in my life because of him. He makes everything fun, especially with his sense of humor. He’s totally awesome and I couldn’t ask for a better dad, ever!!!” Jessa and Sara also wanted to add that they think their dad is one of the funniest dads ever! He is also someone with a lot of patience, understanding, very protective of his family and crazy at the same time. They think it’s wonderful to be a member of such a loving family.

Sara Esplin about her father Bishop Kimo: “ He works hard every day so our family can have food, clothes and a nice house to live in.”
