Gracias! 

"Being grateful in times of distress does not mean that we are pleased
with our circumstances. It does mean that through the eyes of faith we
look beyond our present-day challenges.

This is not a gratitude of the lips but of the soul. It is a gratitude
that heals the heart and expands the mind.

Being grateful in our circumstances is an act of faith in God. It
requires that we trust God and hope for things we may not see but
which are true. By being grateful, we follow the example of our
beloved Savior, who said, “Not my will, but thine, be done."
-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

I hope you all had a fantastic thanksgiving and ate all day long! I
was blessed with two thanksgiving dinners, adopted in by lots of
families, a couple rounds of uno, and pie at my mission president's
house! Thanksgiving as a missionary has been one of my favorite days
out here!

So with the spirit of it all I hope you all spent some time counting
your blessings before you shopped your pants off at Black Friday (:

Love you all and so thankful for all the emails and prayers. They are
all coming your way too!
Gracias y les quiero
