Ella's thoughts

By Tessa H. from Academy of the Redwoods in California

“It would be my dad, he and I are the closest between my parents. He and I are similar, I'm a female version of my dad and so anything that's wrong, anything that I need, he's there.”



“My family and I are from the church of Jesus Christ and Latter day Saints... and so we got sealed, which is where we go to one of our temples. We dress all in white and in these really weird… my parents dress up in these really weird garments and we got sealed which is that in spirit we are able to when we die we come back together and we’re able to be a family forever in all eternity and so I want to be able to remember that day because it was emotional and a really happy day”
