The Grand Experiment

Today was my second experimental block, and while my body didn't cope as well with the procedure itself, it was effective, and my long term block process will begin the Tuesday after Christmas! Hooray!

I am so grateful for good friends! This week I have been so blessed to have sweet interactions with friends that lift and inspire me! One evening I got to talk to Rachel-of all my mission companions, she had, and continues to have, the most profound impact upon my life. I am so grateful that our friendship still continues, and that she teaches and reminds me of who I am. Last night Marie came to visit. She is ever loyal, kind, and does much to comfort me. I have friends at work that see me for who I really am, and help me live up to that. They care for me, and love me, for which I am truly grateful! I am grateful for my dear siblings, who are my dearest friends and bring me the greatest joy. How grateful I am that we are part of an eternal family! And I am grateful for countless other friends who do much good to bless and strengthen me, care for me, serve me, love me, and allow me the same privelege!
