One of the very first Native friends I met at BYU was Dana Anquoe. She was just as green as I was, but it turns out she didn't have the support that I did. In other words--she was a lot braver than I was. I admire that about her. I admire her courage. I also admire her indomitable spirit. During this conversation, I learned about her that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has really been a sure foundation for her. It has provided growth and safety. Pretty sure we can all find those qualities in the Gospel if we allow it. Dana hasn't had a "charmed" life, but her attitude makes so much difference. Finally, she taught me something about teaching that pretty much reset my whole thought process: testify first. It was absolutely delightful to interview Dana for an hour.
