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 worlds without ends. Crazy! I felt strongly that all the youth's ancestors were just as big and that many were going to do whatever they could to get them on trek. It was an amazing feeling and I couldn't help just cry. There was not denying the knowledge of this, it was just like I knew it just like I know I am alive. 

I had a phone call from Francis!!!! She called me as I was in line to donate blood for Ethan Corbridges Eagle Scout Project. She was so great to talk to. She had to let me know how proud I should be of you and how amazing my son was. She raved and raved about you and talked how very blessed she has been to have had you in her life. You are amazing buddy! How awesome for you to help them, getting to the temple and all the amazing discussions you have had with them. She talked to me over 30 mins. She could have gone on and on but I had to go give blood. I fell in love with her over the phone and know that you  for sure have had some special experiences with her and her son. She told me about the temple and her experiences. WOW. I loved that I had an opportunity to testify of the power the temple gives me in my life. She is doing the classes to go for her endowments. That's awesome.

Anyway, she couldn't stop telling me how much she loves you and how much she misses you but how proud I need to be of you. I AM SO PROUD!!!! I have always known how special you are to me, our family and to the LORD. You are so loved buddy. I pray you always know that and use that to give you power when things are hard. the Lord is with you.

Well, turns out I couldn't give blood anyway because my hemoglobin was low :( I need more iron......  I felt bad I couldn't contribute to Ethan getting all the bags of blood he needed but it was the thought that counts, right?? Ha, Ha.

HOpe all is well for you. Can't wait to read your letter. 

Love you so much!
