Here's my email to him this week:
Hello my son! How are you pal? I hope you had a wonderful Easter. Today we
of course went to church and had a wonderful Sacrament Meeting. Jerry Seelos
and Allen Bauer talked about the Savior. It was really a good meeting. And
then in Relief Society Sister Sullivan gave the lesson and she showed a
Mormon.org video of the Savior with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing Come
Thou Font of Every Blessing. It was such a wonderful thing to watch and very
touching to see the Savior throughout his life and then suffer, but then the
triumphant sounds of the choir and then Mary seeing Him at the tomb. Very
awesome. I found myself thinking again of you and thinking how amazing the
gospel is and how you were probably doing and discussing the exact same things.
I love Easter. I love the promise of Spring and knowing that we will all live
again, just like the Savior. Dad and I just got back from visiting the
Checketts and our conversation turned to Quest. Remember how no one wanted to
go and what an amazing and wonderful experience it turned out to be. I am so
glad I was able to be there. However, if we get to do it again, I so do not
want to be on the food committee. Too much work. Well, actually, I would do it
again if we had a bigger kitchen staff...ha-ha.
As this week was Spring Break we did go down to St. George for a couple of
days. It wasn't as warm as we would have liked it to be, however it was nice
and Stetson and Caleb were able to swim each night in the outdoor pool. I was
able to read a really good book about a gal who was in a terrible plane crash
with her husband and was terribly burned. She is a member of the Church and has
an amazing story of patience and faith. It was a great couple of days. We did
miss you and realized next time we will have you with us. Hardly seems
possible. We also were able to go to the new City Creek Mall in Salt Lake.
Remember when they announced they would be doing that project and it was a 5
year project. I remember thinking that when it finished you would be on a
mission and thinking it sounded forever away and now it's here. It is amazing.
I am going to send you a few pictures of it. It really is so different than
anything you've ever seen in our area. AMAZING!
Today was also a fun surprise. There is a show on each Sunday called Mormon
Times that is after Music and the Spoken Word. They ask for people to send in
pics of their missionaries and so I sent the picture of you in the raincoat, one
of my all time favs. I got an email saying they were going to show it today and
they sure did. My aunt Vickie called me and she just happened to be watching
today and Brenda Mumford saw it too. It was a fun surprise and you look awesome
in your picture. I was quite proud.
How are the investigators coming along? I have been praying for you and for
them to listen and accept the message you are sharing with them. I hope they
are doing just that.
I also went up to Letia's (Elder Peterson's) house this week and helped her
start a blog for Josh and Jordyn. It was fun. Love his family. We looked at
some pics from the MTC and I can't believe how much you've changed in the time
you have been out. You don't look like a boy anymore. I am so proud of all you
are doing as you serve in Honduras. You are truly being blessed and prepared
for all that awaits you in life. These people love you as we do and it is
awesome what you are accomplishing there.
I hope you have a wonderful week. I will be working today, but I'll try and
get on and check when I can and hope I can at least say hey. I love you pal,
please know how much we think and pray for you every day.
Stay safe & obedient. Loved you then, love you still, always have,
always will...
Love,
Mom
