She wrote: "David, I want to thank you for all the times you nagged meant staying with the church when I was having my "drama queen" moments when I wanted to leave. I finally decided staying was easier than listening to you nag. Thank you for that. I am solid with my belief that this is the true church. Love to both of you, Sharlene"
Another blast from the past.
Another list from a 20-year-old BYU student
Apparently, part of BYU ecclesiastical education involves "if I die lists."
All of the below recommendations would look best superimposed on a picture of a fluffy cat on an Instagram feed.

"If I were to die today, I wouldn't have any children to leave my words too. If I did have children by now, I'd have to tell myself to slow down, I need a husband first. But if I had a husband and children, I'd tell them:
- make the church the most important part of your life
- you don't have time to be in bad moods or to be angry, it's not worth it
- and the end of the day, if you look back at what you've done, you'll realize what your priorities are
- you're not here to find out who you are but to create the person you want to be
- see everyone as what they can be not what they are, then they will become that person
- go easy on the sugar
- always assess who is important in your life. Is Christ #1?
