Every Friday, the UK YAGM have an outstanding date to all meet over Google Hangout to discuss what we've been doing that week, any prayer requests we have, and a Bible verse one of us picks out. It's a time to relax and be ourselves with people who are in the same situation. We can finally be homesick, frustrated, exuberantly happy, and confused. We end our check ups with a small Bible study and a final prayer based on our time together.
Today I am thankful for my fellow YAGM and our weekly talks.

November 8
Today was devoted to making progress on the various projects I have going on right now. Some YAGM related, some family related, and some just for fun. One of these projects is a Doctor Who scarf. The special thing about this scarf is not the fact that it's six feet long or that it's 100% wool which will keep me warm this winter. It's special because my brothers and my mom all have variations of the same scarf. Kiel has a twelve foot long scarf. Nylan has the same but a little bit thinner, and Alec has a short scarf about 3 feet long. My mom just started her scarf yesterday, and now I have finished mine. It's something to keep me connected to my family from 4,000+ miles away.
Today I am thankful for finished projects and long distance connections.
