It snowed in good ol' WASPO this week! *Thumbs down* 

Broke my heart to see all the snow. Sister Johnson and I cried about it. 

 

I was sick all week, and my coughing kept our apt up, so that was fun! Luckily, I have the greatest roommates evaaaa', so they all took good care of me. (Yes mom, I made sure to keep my neck covered whenever I went out).

 

Soooooo....

Thanksgiving is this week, so I'll try to do my email in a little gratitude list.

First of all, I'm grateful for each one of you! 

I'm grateful for this gospel and the love it brings into my life. 

I'm grateful that I'm a missionary! I love it so much, and it's the greatest thing I could be doing with my life right now.

I'm grateful for the opportunity I had this week to teach a Muslim family while I was on exchanges. They were recepptive to the Restoration message, and we were the first "Christians" they've encountered yet in 'Merica. It was awesome.

 

I'm grateful that Jose de Jesus is on date for Dec 13th. He likes to refer to baptism as to, "taking a dip". Jose wants to "take a dip" in the Spokane River. He's a wild one. The day we put him on date, we took them on a church tour, and as we took a moment of silence in the chapel, the air conditioning went off and it alarmed him. He exclaimed, " IT'S THE SPIRIT" .Whatever works for him (: He brings it up to everyone he talks to. His phone went off the other day, and he said the same thing. We have some work to do... He's sooo hilarious though. We have a blast with him.

 

This week, we've been sharing D&C 78:19 with our members and the importance of being grateful for all of our circumstances and the little things we have in life. I invite each of you to ponder, and jot down a list of 100 things you're grateful for before Thanksgiving. Whether it be as a family, or individually. I promise you'll realize how truly blessed each of you are. Some of us aren't blessed enough to simply have clothing or food. 

 

Also, we'll be sharing this awesome video with others this upcoming Christmas season. The website will be up mañana, It's christmas.mormon.org. The video is called " He Is the Gift" .He, as in Christ. He truly is the greatest gift we all have. Ponder on that these upcoming holidaays, and on what that means to you. I know that it means EVERYTHING to me. Think about the true meaning of the holidays, and not on the material things such as stuffing your face 'til you get a food coma, or being bundled up in buying gifts. Instead, list your blessings, and remember what Christ did for us.

 Yes mom, I'll be getting fed for Thanksgiving. We'll be with the Mortenson's, and the Conant's later on. I'll be taken care of.

 

I hope everyone has un Feliz dia de accion de gracias! Les quiero mucho!!

 
Con amor,
