Today we went and cut down a Christmas tree! It is my first time ever doing something like that. Back home we don't really have any to cut down, but here there is a plethora of lovely trees!!!!! What an experience it is to go out with your family and find the perfect tree. I am so grateful to be here with the Fife's. I can't imagine a better place besides my own home to spend Thanksgiving. They have so much love for everyone around them.
I want to talk about how grateful I am for trials. Now, you're probably thinking that that's a pretty strange comment to make, but it's so true. It sounds cliche, but without trials in my life I would not be the same person I am today. Trials have humbled me to my knees and have allowed me to strengthen my relationship with Heavenly Father. I know who I can turn to when I am having a hard time, and I can count on him to help me. Without trials, I wouldn't have been in humble enough to turn to my Father in Heaven; now I really do know that I can ask for his help in anything. Trials have made the great things that happen in my life even more sweet. As they say, there is opposition in all things. If I hadn't known what it felt like to feel sorrow, pain, and loneliness, I would not feel the same intense joy from amazing things that happen in my life. Trials make me more grateful for all that I have and to have been blessed with so much.
I love my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ. I know they live. I know they love me. I know that if I am ever feeling lonely or afraid or in pain, I can trust in them.
