Thank you!

“Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.” ^{(Aldous Huxley, Themes and Variations (1954), 66.)}

<sup>I am a living example of this statistic.

There is so much that I have been given, blessings too numerous to number.  At this time I would like to take some time out of my day and say THANK YOU!</sup>

^{Thank you Mom & Dad for whoopen me when I needed it most.  You have sacrificed everything for me and my siblings and I will eternally be indebted to you.}

^{Thank you Uncle Greg and Aunt Liz for believing in me.}

^{Thank you Grammy Abbott for your faithful prayers.}

^{Thank you Pres. & Sis. Bunker for being living examples of disciples of Christ.}

^{Thank you Derek for being a true friend.}

^{Thank you Lauren and Trevor for coming to this earth at the perfect time.  Y'all are truly angles.}

^{Thank you for the sweet letters I have received on my mission :)}

^{Thank you Bishop Kastner, Pres. Bennett, Pres. Judd, Elder Snow, Bro. & Sis. Henderson, Bro. Senniff, Bro. Hardisty, Bro. & Sis. Satterfield, Sis. Trejo, Bro. Beauchamp, Bishop Tanner, and all the church leaders here in Northern California who have taught me how to become a better servant}

^{Thank you Tara for marrying Nigel.  He is the man!}

^{Thank you Alaina for just being you being you.}

^{Thank you Coach Winterton for teaching me discipline and humility.}

^{Thank you Elder Jared Abbott for spreading the Gospel down in Chile.}

^{Thank you Grandpa taking me cane fishing.}

^{Thank you Grandma Judy for talking us rowdy boys to the beach when we knew you didn't want to go.}

^{Thank you Grandma May for you pure charity.}

^{And there are many more who I am thankful for who I pray that one day I will again have the privilege to thank.}

^{But there is no greater thanks needed than to my Father in Heaven for sending His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for me.} 

I think of his hands pierced and bleeding to pay the debt!
Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget?
No, no, I will praise and adore at the mercy seat,
Until at the glorified throne I kneel at his feet.

Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me
Enough to die for me!
Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!

"I Stand All Amazed" Hymn 193
