Hey guys! My name is Peter Erikson and I just wanted to share what brings me joy! Dance has been a part of my life since I was really young, like 5 years old. I have done it all the way until my senior year in high school. I love how much you can express yourself with the music and dance steps you use! But that's only part of it! I also love gathering as a team with the others I dance with, and how we are able to perform in unity with each other! ... The joy I am able to feel from being a part of something bigger than myself is really awesome! My heart just always yearns to get out there and dance and show others the beauty you can witness through dance! Who can you share your talents and abilities with today? Help them to feel the joy and brighten the lives of those you serve! #dance #joy #choosejoy #sharejoy

When times are hard, always remember that Jesus Christ is walking with you!! Christ says: "I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them." (Ether 12:27) ... Our weaknesses turn to strengths when we turn to Christ!! What is one way you can rely on Christ this week? #strength #hardtimes #JesusChrist #healing

Knowing that we are children of God brings us JOY!!!! "the love of God, which sheddeth itself abroad in the hearts of the children of men; wherefore it is the most desirable above all things... and the most JOYOUS to the soul" (1 Nephi 11:22-23) We all want to be loved! The greatest love, God's love, can make us the most happy!!! As we feel God's love for us and for others, we will feel true joy!! ... What will you do today to show God's love for another person? Let us know below, or message us for some ideas!! #love #joy #Godslove #sharelove

WHAT MY FAMILY TAUGHT ME ABOUT JOY Families are a gift from God. Even though every family looks very different, we can learn so much from the people that are closest to us! My family taught me that life is to be ENJOYED! That laughter and fun are part of living, and that time spent together is time well spent. What has your family taught you about joy?... #JOY #family #livelaughlove #Godsfamily
