“Matt and Mandy,” Friend, Nov. 2009, 44 Matt and Mandy Illustrations by Shauna Mooney Kawasaki Let’s take a quick trip around the universe in the MandM 4000 Space Explorer and find things to be thankful for. Blast off! I’m thankful for all of Heavenly Father’s creations. I’m thankful for beautiful things. Let’s land on this strange planet and meet new life forms. Initiating landing sequence. Hold on tight! Greetings, Grandpa—I mean, strange being from the Planet Grampatron! We come in peace from Planet Earth in search of things to be thankful for. Here on Grampatron, we are thankful for our families, especially our grandchildren. That was a very wise alien. I’m thankful we met him. Me too.
