Whatever it Takes

today was a good day. I love Sundays like this.

So today we actually made it to church in time for the sacrament.

3 ward members spoke on gratitude and thanksgiving.

One girl read a story "You Are Special"

and i know this seems kind of lame if you're not in the mood to read it..

but it made me realize that

I should care more about what the Lord thinks of me

than anyone else.

Our home teachers took us night snorkeling,

but they didn't give us a lesson so they met with us after church today.

We are so incredibly lucky to have them.

They are amazing. Adam asked us about our testimonies,

and i know he really cares about us, and whether we believe.

I asked him to give me a blessing,

and my roommates decided to get one too.

I always cry in blessings, they are so incredible.

I am so blessed to know so many men who worthily hold the priesthood.

And i am blessed to know that my heavenly father knows me

and he's always beside me helping me to accomplish what he needs me to.

Adam called me a divine daughter in my blessing.

I just can't express the love i feel everyday from my heavenly father.

and i'm so lucky.

I can always feel his peace surround me when i need it the most.

and i feel his hand in my life, and i know how much he needs me.

I was so so lucky to live in Georgia and to grow my testimony there.

I felt so special to be the person that heavenly father wanted to be an example there.

I loved telling people about the truth

and watching their faces, because i know they could feel the truth

and i was the one that got to show it to them for the first time.

And my sister Melissa is this spiritual giant

we had a conversation one time about our family

and she made me feel so special to be her sister

and to be in the family that i have.

well i guess this fits the Thanksgiving theme.

I am going home this Saturday to be with Sami for her dad's funeral

and then with my family for the week.

I want to make sure that they know i am thankful for them.
