I had no idea that the world's population had decreased until watching the video for class. All I could remember was people worrying about having too many children and overpopulating the world. I am glad that this is no longer the case, but sad that we have allowed our world to get to this point. I am very grateful for the gospel that teaches us how important families are and that we should have children. My parents both come from families of eight children and there are eight children in my family. I have about 65 first cousins on both sides of my family. I love getting together with everyone and spending time with my immediate family and my extended family. I wouldn't trade my family for anything! I try to tell people that when they act surprised about how big my family is. :)
