THANKSGIVING!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!


Ok it is a day early but I know I am not going to do it tomorrow so I wanted to make a post to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and talk about what I am grateful for. Sorry if this is a bit cheesy but who cares, Im grateful for sooo many things!!

First off, I am grateful for my Father in Heaven and my Savior Jesus Christ. I have no idea where I would be if I didn't have a relationship with them. I Know they live and they know what is going on in my life. Its amazing how many blessings they give me, some of which I don't deserve, but I know that they love each one of us. A little over a year ago I had the opportunity to give up 2 years of my life to serve them. It was one of the best experiences that I have ever done!! It helped me gain a stronger testimony and also a direction in this life.
Here are some pictures that are from my mission.


Me, my companion, and Xia English. Xia was my first person that I begun teaching and watched her progress, gain a testimony and was baptized. Way awesome person, with an amazing testimony!


La Familia Agustin, me and my trainer Elder Mendoza. My first transfer in the mission we taught this family and they were baptized. A year later I had the opportunity to watch them be sealed as a family in the LA Temple. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. This family is amazing and are strong members in the church.


La familia Bracamontes. They are truly amazing family. I love them so much, especially little Juanito (the kid I am holding). They were a family that the missionaries had been teaching for a while but were not progressing that much. I wasn't actually in the area where they lived but I served in there same ward, so I would go over to there house for lunch every week. They made some HUGE sacrifices and I had the blessing of baptizing the mom, Teresa. It was an awesome experience to be apart of there conversion story. Way cool family!!

The next thing I am grateful for is.....
MI FAMILIA!!!

THE BEST FAMILY A GUY CAN ASK FOR!!!

I don't know how I got so lucky but I did, my family is the best!! They are all great examples to me. Starting from my Pa, who is the man I want to become, to my Mother who will do anything for anyone. She is an amazing lady that I look up to, a person that is very Christlike, she thinks about others before she thinks about herself! My sister and her family are the best! They have set the example of the family I want to raise my family as. My oldest brother scott and his little family are huge examples in my life. Always there to put a smile on my face and to help me out! My next brother Craig is an amazing brother! I look up to him a lot, and he is always willing to do things for me without anything in return! My next brother Daren is one of the funniest kids I have ever met. Always making me laugh and enjoy life. He is a great brother and a Huge example in my life. I love my family and am grateful for them.

There are sooooo many other things that I am grateful for but these two that I have talked about are a huge part of my life. Sorry if this was cheesy, but like I said, who cares its thanksgiving. A time to let people know what you are grateful for huh?

Well, hope you have yourself a HAPPY Thanksgiving!!!
