Week 47

Well to be honest nothing to crazy happened this week and it was
probably not the happiest week of my mission experience but it's
thanksgiving so I think I'm just gonna say some things I'm thankful
for.

I am so thankful that my flat is on the main floor and that I don't
have to walk up a flight of stairs with my bike every morning and
every night. I am so thankful I have been able to come to England and
honestly come to love more people then I could ever imagine. I'm so
grateful that I have been able to have the means to provide for myself
while on the mission and being able to be dependent. I'm so grateful
for my loving family who have loved and supported me my whole life.
I'm so grateful for good friends who have continued to support me even
when we are so very far apart and communication is about once a week.
I'm so grateful for members who give us way to much food and love. I'm
so grateful for my bike that is making it possible to not be a walking
blimp right now from all the member food and love. I'm so grateful for
great companions who care and make the not fun moments more fun. I'm
very grateful to be serving in a country that is definitely just a bit
outside my comfort zone but not to much to that would completely send
me over the edge. I'm grateful for tender mercies like random nice
people in between doors of not so nice people who don't wanna hear
about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm grateful for technology
and being able to talk to friends and family. I'm so grateful for my
Heavenly Father who continues to amaze me when I think I've hit my
limit of what I can handle and then some how I'm able to handle the
next challenge. I'm so very grateful for the Atonement and that Jesus
Christ would go through something like that for someone like me. I'm
so grateful for the Prophet Joseph Smith who had the desire to ask a
question and had the faith to receive an answer to that question. I'm
so grateful that I've been able to be born in this dispensation when
the gospel is on the earth in its fullness and that I have the
opportunity to share its glad message. I'm so very grateful for my
life and for the trials I get that help me become better.

Transfer calls go out this Sunday so I guess we will see what happens

Love,
