This week was pretty great. The highlight of my week for sure was Thanksgiving day. It was so much fun. We went to a park and played sports in the morning. We played mostly 3 hit kill with a volleyball and we even played a Turkey bowl!! Playing football was SO much fun and I felt like I was back home playing with my dad and brothers. And I even accidentally dressed up as Rachel from Friends for Thanksgiving. And what is even more crazy is I wore something like what she wore in a Thanksgiving episode. Anyways it was fun. Then we went home and took some funny pics and the got ready for the day. I got to have dinner with 2 families in my ward and the food was amazing. It was a good and fun Thanksgiving dinner. Oh we are also a part of a Christmas concert thing so we got to record/film for it this week! So it was a pretty fun week.
I just want to say how grateful I am for each of you. You all have helped me so much in my life. I hope that all of you know how much I love all of you. I am also very grateful that I get to be a missionary right now. I read a talk by Dieter F Uchtdorf called Grateful in Any Circumstances. In it he says "We can choose to be grateful, no matter what.". I know this is true. We can always choose to be grateful. There is always something to be grateful for in your life. One good activity that I love is to sit down and time yourself for 1 or 2 minutes and write as many things as you can that you are grateful for. You will surprise yourself. I love and am so grateful for all of you.
Love, Sister Yates :)
