It is Good to Give Thanks

Dear Family and Friends,

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. There were many things to be grateful for this week. These are just a few 
1. Our wonderful ward members! Not only did they make sure that we had some place to go on Thanksgiving but we had three back to back to back Thanksgiving meals on Thursday :) Though by the end I thought I might die of a food overdose, I was very grateful for the love of our ward members
2. Trina. This girl is on fire! She has already read the first two books of the Book of Mormon and she came to church this Sunday. Her baptismal date was set for the 20th but at her request has been moved to the 13th. She is amazing and everytime we teach her the Spirit is so strong. She has such a love for our Savior and I love getting to share my testimony of Him with her.
3. Christmas Decorations. We were able to help decorate three homes this week including the mission home. It was so much fun! One member even gave us an extra Elf on the Shelf to decorate our study. We have started decorating our study and it really is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Until you go outside and it is 60 degrees, another thing to be thankful for!
4. Sister Kalahiki and I are staying together in Pinnacle Mountain for one more transfer! YAY! 
Most of all I am so grateful to be here serving a mission. I truly love getting to represent my Savior everyday. Missions are not easy. They are not always fun. But they are one of the best things you will ever get to to do and I am so so so grateful to be serving the Lord in Little Rock. I am also so grateful for the person I represent each day. My Savior Jesus Christ. I am grateful for the Atonement that He performed for me and for each of us. I am grateful for this time of year when our hearts and minds are turned a little more toward Him as we celebrate His birth. And as always I am so grateful for all the love and support that I receive from all my friends and family.

Love,
Sister Aase
