Sooo Grateful.

Today I have so many things to be grateful for. I will just touch on a couple. I am SO grateful for the wonderful family I have. Seriously, how great are they? I just left them today because its the end of spring break, and it was really hard. I just love knowing that they will always be there for me no matter what. Even though I will be 2323 miles away while I am on my mission, they will still be there and will be there supporting me. 

Second, I am so grateful for spiritual experiences. Not any in particular, just them in general. I am grateful that we have things to strengthen our testimonies, get us through the hard days, and allow us to come closer to our Heavenly Father. I am a huge believer of personal revelation, and today, I am grateful for that! 

Last, but not least, I am grateful for EVERY single person in my life. Acquaintances, friends, family, enemies and even people I havent met and just seen. Every person has shaped who I am today, and for that I am grateful. It reminds me of the Wicked song "For Good" if you havent heard it, listen NOW. (Click here to listen.) Its amazing how much people can influence your life. From here out, my goal is to be a good influence on everyone I meet. 

Tomorrow, I am going to the doctor for my shoulder...again. I had an MRI last Monday and tomorrow I will hear the results. If surgery is needed, I will have it again as soon as possible so there is time for recovery before I leave. Its going to be a pain to have it in the middle of the semester, but I need to. Part of me hopes its surgery just because if its not, then what else could it be? There is no way it could be like this for the rest of my life. NO WAY. I am in so much pain and I dunno if my stomach can handle any more Ibuprofen. I guess we will see.

Here is a shoutout to my cousin Parker. Last Thursday he had his appendix burst, and since then he has been in the hospital. We went to visit him tonight, and all i have to say is I hope he gets better soon! This is not something a 6 year old should be having to go through! He is such a strong kid! Get well soon bud :) Love you!
