Last fall, we sat down with Taysom and Emily Hill for an interview in their home in Provo, Utah. Among the topics we discussed were the lessons Taysomâ??s football injuries had taught them both about the importance of trusting in the Lord. Since that time, Taysomâ??s plans for his final season of college football have materialized, much to the delight of BYU football fans around the country.
In this post, we asked Taysom and Emily about their experiences growing up as Youth in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In their responses, youâ??ll read about what they learned from their parents; when they first felt they had a personal testimony of the restored gospel; what lessons Taysom learned on his full-time mission; and what advice they would give to LDS Youth around the world. Through this post, we hope youâ??ll see a glimpse of the blessings and strength that have come into the Hillsâ?? lives through their choices to take to heart Almaâ??s counsel to â??learn wisdom in thy youth; yea, learn in thy youth to keep the commandments of Godâ? (Alma 37:35).
