"When I took this picture, I was hiking up a misty ridge near Yellowstone National Park. At one point during the hike I looked up and saw bright beams of light descending through the mist and falling upon a young pine tree. This experience came at a time in my life when the oppression of the adversary made it feel as though there were dark mists over my eyes. The truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ were light in my life, piercing through the dark mists and allowing me to grow and let my light shine forth. They taught me that even as a young tree grows to great heights, so can I. By letting my light shine forth, I can help others dealing with difficult trials."
