HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I hope you had a wonderful day with friends, family, and plenty of pie.

To end Krista’s Official Week of Gracias, I want to share with you one of my favorite talks. It’s called “Live in Thanksgiving Daily” by Elder Wirthlin. I hope you enjoy.

And with that, on this chilly November day, I also share the things I’m grateful for today:
A Heavenly Father who is ever-loving . A Savior who is full of grace . The Holy Spirit who is ever-ready . My mother, a woman full of sincere love . My father, a man who will do anything for his family . My Karly, you are strong in every way. My Kaycie, you are precious in every way. Frit — I will never be able to explain the blessing you are .
