Attitude of Gratitude

This past week we were invited to join the Relief Society for their Enrichment night. They fed us a yummy potato bar and then we were all blessed to hear Brecklyn speak and share her story about losing her leg. We were in awe as she spoke about the journey of this trial that taught her who she truly was and why she was here. She shared her amazing testimony with us about her relationship with our Savior and Heavenly Father. It was a wonderful night.

Which leads me to my thoughts of this upcoming week.....Thanksgiving! As I ponder the things I am most grateful for....high on the top of my list is all of you sweet Young Women. I am blown away at what you have meant in my life in these short 4 months that we have been together. You are true Christ-like examples to me, and for that I am grateful. You lighten all of our lives as we meet each week. You're awesome! Being the only girl in my family, I never had a sister. How grateful I am that Heavenly Father just sent me 30 of you...."Little Sisters!" I'm grateful to all of the leaders that serve with me. What amazing women they are! We are so lucky to live in this ward, to be surrounded by so many good people.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday....We will miss getting together this week, but look forward to seeing the lights next week. Happy Thanksgiving.....Loves to all!
