A Month of Gratitude Day 3-6

Since being sick I haven't felt up to blogging and missed a few days. I did however think each day what I was grateful for so here is my catch up!

November 3

Today I am grateful for my heating pad. I have had a terrible earache and thanks to my extra long heating pad I have been able to place it on my ear and sleep. In fact I sleep with this heating pad every night. I think it has turned into a child/baby blanket syndrome for me...
side note: thanks brett for buying this awesome heating pad


November 4

Today I am grateful for Visiting Teaching. I finally received my visiting teaching assignment in our ward today, delivered by an equally sick as me Relief Society President! Bless her heart! When I served as Relief Society President (RSP) back in my BYU ward I gained a testimony of just how important Visiting Teaching really is. It is because of Visiting Teaching that lasting friendships based not just on mutual interests but also spiritual experiences are formed. I can't wait to get started!

November 5

Today I am grateful for Skype. I can't even express how much the ability to not only talk to but SEE my family that is far away has affected my happiness the past 5 years. Having been stuck in bed for 4 days with no one else home for 2 of those days Skyping (is this a real verb?) with my parents brought me some much needed comfort and laughter.

November 6

Today I am grateful for The Mormon Channel. I missed church because I am still sick so I turned on The Mormon Channel app on my Iphone. I was able to listen to Elder Holland talk about Joseph Smith's life and I was brought to tears three times as I felt the spirit testify of Joseph Smith as a true prophet of God. I feel so blessed to be in a world where because of technology I can hear the words of God at any time in any place.
