Last Week of Transfers Numero Uno

 I started week number 6 of my first stransfer. It feels like I was just sitting at this computer
2 days ago. I hope everybody had a good Thanksgiving Holiday! You really are grateful for everything when you're so far away from your family and from home. When you have a testimony and all you're doing is trying to share it with the world, the lord continues to bless you. You know that you are grateful for the opportunity you have to share this message. I love my mission. Even though times are hard and sometimes you want to just take a 3 hour nap and you cant. One thing is for sure. There is not enough time in 2 years to get enough work to where you feel satisfied. An AP that is going home next week told me that. In my eyes...he is an amazing missionary and looks like he did plenty of work that would satisfy me if I were him! 
I have been thinking alot about being grateful and giving thanks for my blessing. I am so grateful for the family that the lord has blessed me with and for the wonderful examples they are to me. I miss them dearly. I am especially grateful to be a missionary and live this experience and be an example to my younger Brother. He is just waiting on his mission call which should arrive in 2 weeks from Wednesday. Wouldnt it be so cool for me and him to serve together in the same mission? I am praying so hard to our Heavenly Father, asking him to send him here. I'm also grateful for my sisters. My 2 oldest sisters are pregnant and its a blessing to see my family growing already. I'm grateful for having my little sister, Abri and to see that she is becoming a great little dancer. I am especially grateful for my parents and all the hard work they do for my siblings and I.
I would encourage each and every one of you to count your many blessings. Be grateful for the wonderful atoneing sacrifice of Jesus Christ that we have and that we can have for the rest of our lives. Heavenly Father loves each and every one of you, so make him happy and follow his son.
This week has been okay. I got to visit two Tongan families this week. They are my favorite people and I hope to either go to an island after my mission or to New Zealand! Im gonna learn some Tongan too! :)
Well I hope everyone is good! Please take care and I wish you a good week!
