Hey family,I wanted to apologize for last week’s e-mail, it was not a good week. I was frustrated with myself and others and was losing my patience. Transfers were last Wednesday and I got a new comp. Elder Young hails from Layton UT, He has been serving for about 5 months. He is tall, skinny and looks very bookish... in a good way. He is an easy going guy and is very easy to get along with. Elder young has been kind of sick for the last few days, so we have been taking it pretty easy. Hopefully he will get better soon; I am getting tired of sitting around.Anyway, this should be an exciting week we have Thanksgiving. I think that is part of what has gotten me out of the slump I was in last week. I have been a bit more grateful in my prayers and it has improved my outlook on things. I remember when mom got that electric Keyboard and we started to toy around with it, trying to learn a few simple hymns. But the only one we could seem to squeeze out of that thing was "Count your Blessings". Ever since then that hymn has seemed to bug me because we played it repeatedly until it became obnoxious. But the principles it teaches are true. I love you guys and hope that you all have a good Thanksgiving.Love Elder Jose

"Remember that ofttimes the wisdom of God appears as foolishness to men, but the greatest single lesson we can learn in mortality is that when God speaks and a man obeys, that man will always be right." Thomas Monson
"While most of our suffering is self- inflicted, some is caused by or permitted by God. This sobering reality calls for deep submissiveness, especially when God does not remove the cup from us. In such circumstances, when reminded about the premortal shouting for joy as this life's plan was unfolded (Job 38:7), we can perhaps be pardoned if, in some moments, we wonder what all the shouting was about."
