HAPPY NEW YEAR!

JAN 1 2017

Dear Elder,

YOU ARE SO AMAZING!!! I keep reflecting back on Christmas Day getting to see you and you were just glowing. The light of Christ definitely suits you. I am so  grateful for you and the lives that our Heavenly Father is allowing you to bless. i think there is no greater feeling than that of knowing you have helped someone. Even though the credit goes to Our Savior, it's the best feeling Ever!!!

I took a few days off last week, monday and tuesday. They were much needed. It was awesome. I love having days off where I don't have to go somewhere or really do anything. Those are the best. 

I have been truly grateful for my Savior and for this season of really thinking of Christ. I feel like I try to think of Christ all year long but it felt extra special. 

Lexie gave a talk today. She did an amazing job. The light of Christ shines from her too and she has a strong testimony. I love that she wears her YW medallion almost every day and it means so much to her. She got to go play with the Jazz band last night for new years eve. Cole asked her if she wanted to go and play. So she did. She had so much anxiety about going and playing things she had never played before, but I think the most anxiety was about driving there with someone she has a crush on...... It was really cute.

Isn't it crazy what Young Men can do to Young Women.... ha ha. Speaking of..... How is Elaina??? I mean, I know how she is doing physically, but how does she sound in her letters? She's just the most amazing young woman ever!!! Let me know if we get to keep her.... ha ha. I believe she has so much Love for you and I know you have just as much for her. 

Ok, enough about distractions, sorry. Thank you for all of your amazing letters. They truly make my day. I'm so grateful for each Monday I get to hear from you. I love your enthusiasm about the gospel and I think it helps so many people with how positive you are. I love that part about you too. 

thank you for all  you do for me!!! I love the savior with all my heart and I know that there is no way I could do anything without him. 

Love You Always!!!

Mommy

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 ...

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

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...
