Jed Murri

November 4, 2014

Today I had the privilege of running into a dear friend, Jed Murri. Now it is not allowed in the state of Utah to simply say, 'Jed Murri', but rather, THEE Jed Murri. He is one of the most incredible people I have ever met. Not only is he a strong example to me, but to everyone he meets. He has the ability to make everyone feel loved and important. He is amazing.

During our years in high school together, Jed was my rock. I say rock because he is so spiritually strong and is constant. He doesn't change his standards for anyone. Whenever Jed was around, you wanted to be a little better. Not because Jed thought himself above others, but because he lived the gospel 100% no matter what. You wanted to shine as brightly as he did. 

But it wasn't just Jed, it was all those he chose to make his closest friends, for they too shone brightly! They all lived the gospel 100%! It was like being in the presence of Christ's disciples! You wanted to be better because they emulated Christ through their example. Among those were, Caleb Rodeboug (on the far right), Jed Murri (next in from Caleb), Cameron Yorgason (next in from Jed) and Porter Mattson (On the far left). They are some of the most elect young men I have ever met in my entire life.

These young men love and live the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. Through them, I have come to know my Savior better and have gained a strong testimony of always standing in holy places. Tomorrow Jed will leave for the MTC and be a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints serving in the London, England mission. I have no doubt that he will be an outstanding missionary. He knows the Book of Mormon to be true, he has firm testimony of the truthfulness of this gospel, and most importantly, he is a charitable disciple of Christ.  

Thank you Jed for choosing each day to be amazing. Go do good in England! And keep it classy over there you lil' stud muffin.
