My Life as a Teenage American

Dear people that read this even though I don't know why but it's awesome that you do!
Life here in America has been, crazy, good, tear-jerking, akward, depressing, wacky, and all so blessed. So many people are supporting us- and the best supporter of all- GOD!!!
I've been feeling like GOD has been trying to teach me that I should be more grateful, and that we whine too much, and don't realize how blessed we REALLY are. Like think about this- I have TWO legs, TWO arms, TWO eyes, TWO ears, ONE mouth, a MOM, a DAD, 2 Annoyingly-lovable brothers, a roof over my selfish head, food, water, heat, blankets, toilet paper, even shoelaces!!! When you think about how much you really have, life seems a lot more effective.
Anyway- I've gotten invited to my best friend at school's birthday party, which sounds like a lot of fun, but frankly, I'm just psyched that the outcast-weird-wacko kid (being ME) got invited ANYWHERE!
I still really miss home and would much rather be there, but when I look at what I've got- I've got a pretty amazing life.
THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blessings,
That Missionary Kid
(STILL and always WILL BE!)

Thanks a lot! I love hearing from MKs such as my self- even though I' not one exactly right now- but I still can share the gospel. Keep strong and don't let your 3 annoyingly-lovable brothers get to you ;)
