Giving Thanks

Dear Family and Friends,

 

Alofa atu! Well I hope that everyone likes the blogs.. a special thanks to Courtney who designed and keeps my blog going.  I am very thankful for you. So this week has been very special and with the holiday of Thanksgiving,  I was thinking maybe we can take it to the next level. For those that can, please watch this clip.. http://www.lds.org/pages/mormon-messages?lang=eng&query=thanksgiving+mormon+messages#in-the-spirit-of-thanksgiving

On your Facebook status name a few things you are grateful for in this life, both spiritually and also temporally. Well I love and am grateful for the things that I receive in this life to help me learn and to grow. I am also grateful for family, courtney, and my parents and their wonderful examples.  I am grateful for my Savior and all the he did to take my sins.. (alma 7: 11-12).. Iam grateful for the Plan of Salvation and for temples.. that my family is able to be sealed for time and all eternity!

Another thing that I have been thinking about lately and a lesson that we had this sunday is about parents.. here is a clip to answer and help parents with their children...http://www.lds.org/pages/mormon-messages?lang=eng&query=thanksgiving+mormon+messages#parenting-touching-the-hearts-of-our-youth

I am grateful for my parents that have taken the time to support and love me. Yesterday in our priesthood class a man shared his testimony of what he learned the night before. He shed a tear saying how he went to hangout with his friends saturday night to play billiards. He came home at midnight and to his astonishment his 3 year old son was crying for him and was waiting up for him. He wanted the love of his father. What a great example his son was to him and helping him learn the importance of family...

Alofa atu i tatou aiga.. ma mo le atu i le agaga faafetai mo le lagolago ma le alofa i lou aiga.. ou te iloa ma mautinoa o le Faaola e soifua.. ma avatu i lou agasala ma lou filifili sese i aso uma.. ma faafetai lava mo le avanoa e salamo.. ma le fiafia sili e lagona i taime uma.. ou te molimau atu ia te outou o le aiga e sili lava i le taime nei.. ma malosia lou sootaga i lou aiga... e tusa e malosia le sootaga ma Lo matou Tama o i le Lagi.. alofa atu! manuia lava le fuafuaga i lenei vaiaso!
