ORDER IS HAPPINESS

DECEMBER 18, 2016

oh My Goodness!!! It's almost time............... than a week............Hi buddy!

So first things First........... Is there anyway you can tell us when you can Facetime or Skype??? If nothing else gets answered this week I won't care as long as we know this answer :) You know how it is for us on this end. We need to plan, everyone keeps asking.

So, I think i told you last week Lexie and I cleaned up her old room. I have loved the feeling of walking by her room and seeing it so clean. So, I guess you can imagine what I have been feeling walking past your room................. ya, well, I guess you didn't make it a priority to leave it in a good way................. So i couldn't stand it any longer. I wanted to walk past your room and feel love, not frustration that it was still the way you left it. SOOOOOOO, yesterday, Lexie went to work with Dad so I started on your room. I did all my errands and then emails for Trek. Then I dove in. I started about 3pm and finally finished at 8pm. Whoosh. Man buddy, I'm not sure why you had food and stuff all over but I filled about 4 trash bags. Don't worry, I filled 4 storage bins too. I didn't throw away any thing I thought you needed to make a decision on if you wanted to keep it. But I put a ton of stuff from on top of dressers and in drawers in those bins. I am attaching pics from about 1 hour after I started into it to one when I finished. 

I have walked past your room now many times and I feel the LOVE!!!! IT makes me way happy to see it neat and orderly. It's crazy how chaos makes you feel crazy and sad. But Order makes you feel happy and Love. That is totally why The Lord's church is Orderly. there would be no room for the spirit to reside if it wasn't orderly. I can testify of that. So MERRY CHRISTMAS! I cleaned your room :)

Speaking of Christmas, I sent your Christmas on Friday, but I sent it to the Mission Home instead of the mission office by accident. I didn't want to send it straight to you in case it was left outside and someone would take it. I PRAY you will get it!!!!
Do you think they will get it to you? It should arrive by Wednesday if there isn't a storm that causes the trucks to be slow. it's coming UPS. I told Sister Williams in the Mission office of my mistake and to be looking for it. Also, you should get a little something in the mail that will come to your apartment. 

HOW WAS GARY'S BAPTISM????? I have been praying for him. I hope to hear all about it and hope you have some pics. Who baptized him? 

The spirit witnesses to me all the time of your importance in the Lords plan. I know you are doing such an amazing job and are learning such important things that you will need to know for the rest of your life. 

I'm so grateful for this gospel and for Christ in my life. He is the only way I can survive and have the happiness in my life. He guides and directs me. I am so thankful for that. 

I love you Buddy!!! I can't wait to talk to you!!!!!! DON'T FORGET TO TELL US WHEN WE GET TO TALK.

Love Always,
Mommy

ELDER SNELL: Hi Mommy!!

I'm not certain when we will Skype haha. We have an appointment at 2

and 2 my time. I think :) hahaha

MOM: Many emails back and forth with times and working things out with Caden's companion.... ha ha. Here is a chart they put together.....

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

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...
