THANKFUL THURSDAYS

its late, but its here! :) 

  1. First and for most, I must be thankful for the world. As I have had the opportunity to travel more of it, I have also had the opportunity to meet more of it. There are great people everywhere, and i am so grateful for that! :
  1. My familia. They saved me over and over again when I am running out of money.. I don't know how they do it.. but they do. and they never are bitter about it. It means the world to me. 
  2. Ensigns! They are for adults... and though I'm not quite there, I still am enjoying them. plus, they are in English, so I'm grateful for that alone! ;)
  3. Clean running water back home. We can't drink tap water here.. and were out of our fresh supplies. I miss being able to drink when I'm thirsty and eat when I'm hungry.. sooo many things I have taken for granted.. 
  4. Writing letters to God. They are so peaceful. 
  5. Brother Leavitt. I have been thinking about him quite often lately, and I really am so grateful for the example he was to me. That man changed my life, in a way I will never be able to explain to him. He is a man of great love. For his family, for others, and for the gospel. He has been a very rich blessing in my life. 
  6. scrounging up enough money to get Evan the perfect gift from Estonia. :) 
  7. I am thankful that my sixteen hour train ride didn't really seem like sixteen hours... :)
  8. Did I already mention clean running water? ;)
  9. 10. and last but not least, I am thankful for missionary letters. They are such great examples! and friends. :)
