Thanks for the update. Don`t worry I had a feeling
that I would be saying goodbye to one of my grandparents before the mission. I
knew that something was going to happen. Those feelings just come in life. I am
really grateful for the example that my grandparents have always given me. I
know that they are truly loved and it is hard on everyone when they go. I
really appreciate everything that has been happening lately and the lessons
that I am learning or have learned. I can`t wait to see everyone next week on
Tuesday. I am doing my best to keep focused on the work. It is hard to keep
finding more people to teach when you know that you aren`t going to be there
for anything that happens in the future. I am doing my best to strengthen my
converts in the Gospel this week and leave them ready so that the next
missionaries can help them and serve them with the ward to keep them going
strong. I want to be in contact with them all here soon. Thanks for everything
and the constant support. I know that it isn`t easy to write every week and be
there constantly.
I love writing
to you, but I am grateful that this phase of our lives is almost over. I
love having my children close to me and being able to call or text whenever I
want. Which just reminded me of the other thing I had forgotten.
Your new
cell phone number is in case you want to give it out to anyone
before you come home.
I wish you
could be here for the funeral, but I don’t want you to miss the last week of
your mission. I figure that the Lord knew what He was doing and He would
want you to stay and be a finisher.
You have
had wonderful grandparents and I am grateful that they have been around to
influence your life. Life would have been very different without
them. I am happy Grandma is now at peace. I hope Grandpa will join
her soon because I hate seeing him sit there day after day, not being able to
do anything but eat, sleep and watch TV.
Were you
able to have your confirmations on Sunday? Do you have any more temple
trips planned?
We had the confirmations of
Roger and Sandra. We won`t be able to have our Temple Trip this week. We have
not been able to get the interviews for the Temple or for The Aaronic
Priesthood with the converts. It hasn`t been easy to get them through and
because we haven`t been able to, we can`t take them to the Temple. I am doing
all that I can. This week I have a lot of activities. I have lunch with my
Mission President and his Wife tomorrow and Thursday the Temple trip. Either
Friday or next Monday I will have my Interview with my Mission President and I
will ask him for a new Temple Recommend, as well. I am nearly out of time, but
I am grateful for the time that I have had to write and everything. I will be
happy to not have to email so much or write so much trying to explain
everything.
Okay! Be careful and safe as you travel home. Take time
to eat something during your layover between flights.
I love you so much and I can’t wait to wrap my arms around you
again.
Hugs and Kisses!
Love always and forever,
Mom
