Gratitude List

Wow, I have just been so blessed this week it's just remarkable!
I am grateful to my Heavenly Father that:
I have my family and my fiance that love me no matter what and I love them so much.
We had a great concert this Sunday!
I bore my testimony - and cried. but the good kind of crying.
I paid my tithing and offerings!! What a blessing that is!
Emily's home!
I went to Sun-yi's baptism and I could feel the Spirit and I could think of people to share the gospel with - Rachael, Allison from work, and Sean.
The missionaries helped me make a goal to find someone for the missionaries to teach in 6 weeks. - well, I've only got 5 weeks now. At least I thought of those people.
This missionary mindedness just makes me so happy - I love how it makes me feel about my brothers and sisters - when I think of it that way, I just want to share the gospel with them.
I talked to Ricky's mom yesterday - wow I just love her so much! And she loves me. She's so encouraging, she says that I'll be a great member missionary and that we can work together when I'm visiting in Mexico. She also encourages me as a person.
I'm grateful that I was able to get a jury time that wasn't during work! *phew*
Bilingual club was cancelled today so I could have an extra hour or so to practice.
Lots of snow, but we're safe, and now Debbie's here! :)
This lady offered to give me a gorgeous wedding dress for free!!!! And Ricky likes it too! I'm so blessed.
I had a great chat with Sister McCullough
And I talked to Annalaura yesterday!! We are so alike, I look up to her so much.
I'm writing an awesome wedding song and it's going to be a wedding present for Annalaura.
I was able to do my laundry - random I know but I'm glad to have clean clothes again!
Wednesday deal at Papa Johns!! and if this nice lady didn't tell us we would've just left without buying anything because we're not rich.
Food delivery is amazing. I had Jimmy Johns delivered to me last night.
I've been studying already for exams! yay!!
I had a great discussion/performance with Rachael - my Bach was the best it's ever been!!
I survived on that day with 4 hours of sleep.. yay!
Debbie and Emily were there to comfort me when I was having a mood swing meltdown.
Ricky is at the fair today - I'm happy when he goes out and has fun. I know he misses me.
I caught the bus today when I thought I wasn't going to make it.
Ricky helped edit my Spanish paper! that is just so awesome and he corrected all my little errors.
I'm liking this snow.. well.. not the wind or driving on ice or the slush.. but I'm liking the snow a lot more than I thought I would! there's something about those first couple of weeks that gets me every time. I can't wait until Ricky see's it someday!
I'm graduating in April so I can move to Mexico in May! And at first I was nervous about making that decision but I felt a confirmation that I should and I am so grateful that Heavenly Father answers my concerns and my desires.
I just had my LAST SPANISH CLASS EVER!!! that's exciting.. finishing a major. no more Spanish ever again!! jk!!!!! I'm grateful that I have my own personal tutor every single day.
I'm grateful for the many many countless blessings, in little things like catching the bus and big things like a free dress, or things that I can't replace like my family and my fiance, for friends that encourage me, even for trials, for helping me become better, for Jesus Christ being there with me. There are so many things that I haven't written here. It's like, WOW, Heavenly Father really wants me to be happy and to know that He loves me. I'm so grateful for that and I just had to write it. I hope that I can show my gratitude to Him more every day.
Love,
Stephanie
