Letter from Mikee

OCTOBER 9 2017

Hey Elder Snell's mother/ Mrs. Snell/ Wendi! This is Mikee. If Elder Snell hasn't told you about some of the church members here in Queens NY, he must be really boring 😁 jk. He is really fun to play sports with and pretty much everthing. But we try to behave during Sacrament Meeting because it's always Elder Snell that gives us this scary, scolding look. Nevertheless, he inspires us to behave haha. And most especially, to always put God first no matter what the circumstances may bring to my Sister and I. He brings such great energy when it comes to learning more about Jesus Christ, His plans and works. We love him so much!  And we are superb gonna miss him when he goes hoooome. We know he has a great family because of his awesome personality and amazing faith! And when he comes home, I hope he tells you about how yummy Filipino food is 😁

MY RESPONSE:
Hi Mikee!!!!! I'm so sorry I didnt get to write you back on Monday, I didn't get your email until late that day. YOU ARE SUBERB AWESOME YOUR SELF! Elder Snell even says so. He has told us how Amazing you and your sister are!!! I have loved reading all about your journey and how the gospel has blessed your life. I am laughing so hard about the scary, scolding look because he probably learned it from me, LOL. I'm sure I have given him that look many times in church Ha Ha. Good to hear he is developing great traits. :)

I'm so grateful that he is sharing his testimony of Our Savior Jesus Christ with you and witnessing that if you put God first no matter what, you will be blessed!!! I too have witnessed this in my life especially at work. There are so many things I can't control and so many patient's lives at stake that I always pray that Heavenly Father will protect me and take care of the patient's we serve. It's only through him I can receive peace. 

Thank you soooooo much for sending me an email. It made my day!!!!! Let me know if there is anything I can do for you and your sister. I pray for you often and have put your names on the Bountiful Temple Prayer roll along with your brother's name. I KNOW Elder Snell LOVES him too. I can put your mom's name on the roll if you'd like too. You are an amazing example to me and show so much courage. 

I'm sure Elder Snell LOVES the yummy Filipino food, if it's the roasted pig, yes, he said he loved it.

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...
