Christmas Pictures

DECEMBER 26 2016

Hello Buddy!

I am so grateful to you and the Power of the Spirit that shines
through you!!! Thank you for having our family kneel in prayer
together!!! We are so blessed.

Just a little while after we hung up with you we had a visitor.
Brother Mills from your ward stopped by!!!! I included a picture :) He
was dropping off a letter you wrote us and Megan and Zac were out
cleaning Snow off their cars. He handed them the letter and he was
going to leave and Megan asked him to come in. Yay! He said you are so
amazing! He told us about your ward and the area you are in. He told
us how the missionaries that were there before you weren't doing so
good and goofing off. And what a blessing it has been to have you come
into that area and make such a difference. I am such a proud mom but I
know you don't want any praise. You are just doing what you do
best!!!! SERVE and LOVE!!!

OH, Sister Mansuela called me after we hung up. She wanted to thank me
for sending YOU! She said you have been such an answer to prayer and
have been there every week while brother Mansuela was in the hospital.
She was tearful in telling me the Love they have for you. YOU my buddy
are making such a difference in this ward. You are such a blessing and
I wouldn't trade anything to have you back here. You are where you
need to be. Heavenly Father has a great purpose for you.

I included some Christmas Pictures. Hopefully they all come through.

ELDER SNELL: The Mansuetto's have literally become my family out here hahaha they
treat us like we are their own children. Brother Mansuetto is a living
miracle! His heart failed, his kidneys failed, his liver failed, he
had 1 inch holes all over his lungs, his blood sugar was over 1000! He
was in the hospital for 10 weeks and was able to recover. Crazy! I am
so glad that you all got to meet them :) they are so kind
and sweet! Sister Mansuetto asked for your phone number right
after I came upstairs from talking with you all. She has such a strong
testimony and has really helped mine to grow as well. I love the
Mansuetto's!

Brother Mills made it! Yay! I love him! He has come out and taught a
few lessons with us. He is the greatest! I am super glad that you were
able to meet him as well :)

I hope you had a memorable Christmas! I love you!

the wonderful Christmas gifts! You are the best!

Time Flys Fast!

June 25, 2017 Hey buddy!!! How are you? Hows the weather been? Still crazy rainy? It's been way hot here. I loved your video of the rain. That was crazy sauce.  This week has been good. Not too crazy, just working and spending time with Dad as much as I can. Today is our 25th Anniversary, crazy! Life really goes by so fast.  We are watching the drum corps right now. Cool but they will get better with time. It's still really early in the season.  We had a way long trek meeting today but really feel like the Lord is guiding us and we have so many amazing people who are helping to plan it. It was pretty cool last night when I was praying in my closet, I prayed that my ancestors will help plan trek and help make sure that everything goes well. I felt the room grow with people. My closet seemed to no longer have walls and I could feel the expansiveness of all our ancestors pulling for us. There are so many. Not just a few but people beyond count, I felt like ...

YO YO YO ONE YEAR!!!!

July 16 2017 WOWZERS!!!! I can't believe you will have been on a mission for 1 whole year on the 20th........ CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! This world is flying by so fast and I can't even keep up. I can't believe we are already going to be going on trek in 10 days. Any you have been gone almost 365 days.. WHAT... Well, I can't wait to hear all about your new opportunities. I pray you are looking to the Lord to help you do everything. I was thinking about that today and it's something I'm going to share with they youth on Trek. It is easy to get so overwhelmed with everything that is coming at you and all the responsibility that seems to pile up. Sometimes I just want to go in my closet and cry. I think, no way, I can't do one more thing. And then guess what? I pray to My Father in Heaven and somehow he makes things work out. I pray for strength to meet the challenges and I pray for peace to know I can do this. I've imagined this week as being called to...

Testimony of Trek

Image
August 6 2017 Hello Buddy!!! Wow, these weeks are flying by so fast!!! I started writing my Trek book and it's about 6 pages now and I am only on the first trekking day. Ha Ha. Ya, probably too much details that I am putting into it but I will give you a quicker version.  I had already told you how we were setting it all up for gear drop off and how we were getting everyone to the stake center that morning. Well, the night before I heard the rain and thunder...... oh man. I went into my closet to pray that I know Heavenly Father needs us to learn something on trek but I did ask if it be his will would he temper the weather. Ha Ha, here I am asking for the weather not to be too hot and also not to be rainy.  So at drop off we had many youth that didn't show up and ended up not coming and some that said they will show up in the morning. We also had a Ma and Pa decide not to come and didn't tell us. We didn't know until the night before we left. WOW. It's...
