I am Grateful

Hey family!

i am grateful for you! 

There are so many miracles that happen all around us. how grateful i am to be at the service of the Lord for these two years.

I'm grateful for the trials that come and the battles that are won.
I am grateful for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because through Him i can be clean completely clean of everything, and my family can be together forever.
I am grateful for this gospel and the miracles that happen everyday.
I am grateful for the Book of Mormon and the testament that it is of Jesus Christ and our Father in Heaven.
I am grateful for my Father in Heaven who loves me and gives me peace and comfort through His spirit and listens to my prayers.
I am grateful for the calling that i have and to serve 23 missionaries and so many more around me.
I am grateful for goodly parents and a wonderful family which i love and cherish with all of my heart.
I am grateful for my lineage.
I am grateful for my grandparents, for the one on the earth and those who have passed to the other side of the veil.
I am grateful for who i am and for who i am becoming.
I am grateful for my faults and slip us of my past because through them i learn and grow and become a man of God.
I am grateful for my mission presidents, Agazzani and Callan for their fatherhood and love, and for their wives who have helped me in sickness and given me merry greetings.
I am grateful for a living prophet who talks to the Father and the Son.
I am grateful for the same organization as the primitive church.
I am grateful for the priesthood keys that have been restored to the earth that seal families for all time and eternity.
I am grateful for the knowledge that i have and the knowledge that i need to obtain.

My list can go on and on. I know its not thanks giving, but what are you grateful for? and have you thanked them yet?

Families are incredible we have been finding and working with multiple families. Nestor (baptized last week) and Mirna to be baptized next week have the spirit and just happiness in their home. Luis, Norma, and Sofia are a testimony how God prepares His children and how they are preparing to enter into His holy house to be sealed for the eternities. Familia Haider, 4 kids and with a ton of energy who need this gospel and this happiness, and know that families will be together forever.

I am grateful for Grandma Bond, better known in the family as Grandma Utah. I constantly remember me and she talking about basketball for hours on the phone or at her house. Eating dinner on the small table in her house watching movies with Liz, Mac and Tori. Helping her out with her garden, and her example of faith and hope, and truly enduring to the end. Her passing gives me another drive to endure to the end so that i may live with her and my family again. I know that i will live with her again and see her again. having been paralyzed on her left side it is incredible that she raised 3 dogs to behave perfectly when i cant even do one dog to behave, cook amazing meals, and take care of a household. she will always be loved and always be in my prayers.  i won't be in Utah physically but i will be there spiritually, right after that though i will be back here 24/7 so that others can have the joy and assuredly i have. This is Christ Church the Book of Mormon is true. Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and we must all repent and be baptized by one holding Gods authority to live with Him again.

That is my testimony of my heart and my hope for all the world that if they can just hear my voice one time they will know that i know that this church is true. I love you all God lives
