Email from Dad about Time..

 

I completely agree with you and try so hard every day to appreciate all that I have. I´m going to miss being a missionary and all that comes with it. I hope you have a great week and we´ll talk in 6 days!

Love,

Elder Bever

Hi Ethan,

I hope your day is going well, and that this message reaches you in time.  I have a few minutes while waiting for an appointment.
I've been reflecting on how much I've begun to appreciate the little things.  There is so much around us that often goes unnoticed or unappreciated.  Wether it be our surroundings or a brief thought or experience, I've been trying to be a little more aware and more importantly more grateful for everything - especially the small things.
I hope you can enjoy this last month or so in Nicaragua.  Time certainly is fleeting.  I know you'll make the best of it.  Be sure that as you try to do your best with the remaining time that you find the joy and appreciation of your opportunity to serve there.
Have a great week.  Love - Dad.
