Thanksgiving Thoughts

Hi Parents!  I have been doing quite a bit of pondering this week. An Elder in our mission came to Zagreb to go to the hospital after not feeling good at all. After less than a week, he was diagnosed with Leukemia and three days later is home and getting treatment. Breaks my heart for him and his family. We never know when it is  our time. End of our mission, end of our mission on earth, end of an era in our lives, we always have to be close enough to the Lord to learn from whatever He gives us and be prepared to meet our maker. I have already learned that from you two and I have just been blessed with a lot and wanted to take a second to tell you.... I am soooo grateful for you two, for raising me in the gospel, for teaching me about baptism, for living the gospel yourselves, for letting me throw us tea parties, for supporting me in every way, for being my friends and my parents, and want you two to know....I will be eternally grateful to Heavenly Father for sending me to our family, to be taught and raised by you. I love you with all my heart. Our family is eternal. I cherish my first time and every time after going to the temple with you two, and for gaining a deeper understanding of eternity. Heavenly Father has told me in many ways that He is proud of you two, He is always telling me to be grateful. So thank you for all you guys do. I love you zero wheel barrels full! Happy thanksgiving! 

Have a great week!
