"I'm thankful for toys, churches, my family, and temple blessings!"

Welcome to Sunsets in the Imperial Valley!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!! Wow, I can't believe it is already this time of year! As I reflect back on this past year there are SO many things that I am thankful for, it literally would take days for me to list them all out! So because of time constraints I will just list off somethings that I am thankful for :) 
  1. I am thankful that I have the opportunity to spend ANOTHER 6 weeks out here in the Valley with Sister Blair! I am thankful for all of the amazing people I have met that have truly changed my life and have taught me so much about the love that Jesus Christ has for all of His children. 
  2. I am thankful for my loving Heavenly Father who answers prayers and is so mindful of us! Sister Blair and I had a super amazing experience w/ prayer this past week! We went to go contact a name off of the Ward List that we didn't know during the middle of this crazy rain storm we had on Friday. The GPS takes us to this gated complex and we had no idea how we were going to get in. So we say a prayer in the car that God will guide us to this family and we get out and see this man walking into the complex as well. He looked back and saw 2 white girls running towards him in hooded trench coats, knee length skirts, and soaking wet flats......the light of Christ within this man must of had a moment of compassion because he kindly held the gate open for us. Once we got inside the complex we wandered around for a minute right up to the building that this family supposedly lived in. We stood there for a minute and stared at the building because we realized that we didn't even have the apt number for this family! So in the pouring rain we huddled next to each other and bowed our heads in humble prayer to ask the Lord to guide us to this family's apartment. We decided to go to the other side of the building and knock on one of the doors that we saw had a car parked in its assigned spot. We knock on the door, a woman answers the door, we ask if she is the family we are looking for, and she says YES!! We were like "for real?!?" haha she invited us in for awhile, we had a super amazing lesson, and we even got a return appointment to have a Family Home Evening w/ them! Whats even better.....the Mom is the only member of the family! Woooohoooooo! 
  3. I am so thankful to be serving my God and to be sharing this Gospel and my Testimony of its truthfulness with everyone that I can! I am thankful for the joy that I have felt seeing this Gospel take root in people's lives and for open hearts that have received it.
  4. I am thankful for my wonderful family and for the examples that they are to me! I am thankful for their continuous support and prayers in my behalf. I am thankful for the relationship that I have with each of them and for the love I have for them as well. 
  5. I am thankful for all of my extended family, friends, and ward members and the support they give me as well! 
  6. Last but not least, I am thankful for the relationship that I have with my Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ. If it wasn't for that relationship, I would not be here today! I am thankful for all of the many blessings They have given me-especially this Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ! I am thankful for the guidance and direction that it gives me in my life and the knowledge that I have of the Divine Plan of Happiness. 
The Celestial District is still together!
I love you all and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with all of your loved ones!
