Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  There truly is so much for us to be thankful for.  I know that I am especially grateful for my family this holiday season.  They are so great and such a support to me even with them being so far away.  I am also grateful to serve as a full time missionary and the blessings that have come because of my decision to serve.  Everyday I feel so lucky to wake up meet amazing people in the amazing country of Malaysia.  The people here are so special and they do a good job of being a second family for me.  This evening we are having a Thanksgiving dinner Malaysia style with roast chicken, mash potatoes, veggies, fried noodles, fried rice, tropical fruit and anything else an Asian would think to bring to a dinner.  Although it is a foreign holiday to them they are so kind to celebrate with us and learn of its importance to us.  Malaysia is hot and rainy, enjoy the cold and the snow and be grateful for it!
