Hola! Como estan todos? Estoy muy bien! :) This week has definately had its ups and downs. Im still just as overwhelmed as ever, but i am still going. I find so much strength during the day by prayer and scripture study. I am so thankful too for such an AMAZING companion and also for the Hermanas i room with- they are all amazing and i look up to them in so many ways. I am so thankful for Hermana Baird and that we both just laugh and her strength she has had during her trials, i want to be like her. I am also so thankful for Hermana Henderson who every night looks me in the eye and shakes her finger at me and says- "you have good dreams and you sleep, ok?" and then gives me a hug. I am so thankful for Hermana Farris and Hermana Call and their consistancy at looking for opportunities to serve (whether it be filling up my waterbottle at night or rubbing my back) I am so thankful for Hermana Hanson will just make me laugh either by just saying "HOLA!" (in a Gilly-like voice) and will say to me, "Whats your name delicate?!" haha! She is great!
I am also so very thankful for the Elders in my district. They all have so many strengths. I am so thankful for these 19 year old boys, in the making of becoming men, that come to serve the Lord and are the greatest examples to what diligence and obedience is all about. I am also so very thankful for my teachers- Hermana Stevens, Hermana Jensen, Hermano Schofield and Hermano Garcia that help us and encourages us in all that we do and they are so patient! They are the best teachers here at the MTC! I love them all. I am so very thankful for the zone I am in, Hermana Baird is the coordinating Sister for our Branch and i like to refer to myself as the ''assistant'' to the coordinating Sister. All the Elders are so great and i really enjoy all of them! Oh, I just have to put a plug out there for Elder Bridgeraj and Elder Shaum, they are so great to Hermana Baird and I. Elder Shaum just likes giving us a hard time and then there is Elder Bridgeraj that every day tells us a CHEEZY joke, like: Why was the baby aunt confused?..... because all his uncles were ants. HAHAHA! basically he gets all his jokes off of laughy-taffys- but they are AWESOME and he just loves those jokes.
I am also so very thankful to my family.(i must say, i cannot list all the reasons why i am thankful for you all because of lack of space and time) I am thankful to have such a good Dad that loves me and is still there for me even though he is on the other side of the veil. Mom, i am so very thankful to you and believing in me and helping me stretch beyond what i thought my own abilities were. Tori- I am so very thankful for you and showing me what you are doing with your life. I am glad you had such a great birthday. Will- I am so very thankful for you and your patience with me and that you are going to be serving a mission, you are going to be one solid missionary! Mary- sweet, sweet Mary. I love you and your letters! I am so proud of you in all the many things you have accomplished! I am excited to see what life brings for you after you graduate. Anna, I loved your last letter, it was great to hear from you. Thank you for all the memories we have had together (being goofballs). Christopher- you give the best hugs! I miss hugging you and watching you and Jonathan play guns. You are a great big brother to Jonathan. Jonathan, bug-a-mug! You are such a great boy! Thank you for your example to me in always praying that the whole earth will Choose the Right. And also, i loved the picture you drew me and you are doing so great in writing in cursive! Rachel-lollie-pop! You are growing up so much. I hope you are being such a big help to mommy. Give everyone a little kiss for me, ok La?!
To all my other family members, thank you for all of your prayers and believing in me! I am the luckiest missionary in the world! I have all my brothers and sisters, but i also have cousins that love me. I love you all so much! I hope you are all living your lives and being an example to those around us. We are so lucky to be on the earth at this time and have the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth and that we have a living Prophet that leads and guides us today. I am so very thankful for the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, and the words of our modern-day Prophet.
Oh, how thankful i am for this beautiful earth that we live on! Everyday i see another thing that reminds me of the love of our Father in Heaven. I am so very thankful to all of my friends, thank you for all your love and support as well. I am such a blessed person, i have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! I love you all! Thank you for all your support and love! XOXOXO
Love you, always, forever,
Hermana Deborah Wadsworth
