Our Missionary

We heard from our cute missionary today.  He said he is having a good time and learning a lot.  He likes that they are always doing something.  His companion is Elder Wright from Texas.  They have had the opportunity to teach "real" investigators and the spirit has been strong.  Jared says he will never forget these experiences.  He also said that the leaders are really good about making sure that these new missionaries are okay.  That makes my mommy heart happy.  I'm glad he is being taken care of.  However, I was never worried that he wouldn't be.  I love his comment about "Working Hard and Keeping My Eyes on the Prize."  What a good thing to do.

Elder Ropelato met and talked to President Utchdorf.  I love that these missionaries get to meet and talk to the leaders of the church.  It is so good for them.  What a blessing!

I had to send a few things to Jared today after getting his email.  I forgot to get a sd card for his camera and he needed something for his tablet.  His companion send us these pictures since Jared wasn't able to.  I might have cried when I saw them but only out of joy!  I'm not one bit sad...just totally happy.

Celebrating Pat

Pat's birthday was a week ago but my good neighbors and friends waited to celebrate so I could go.  We went to Applebee's.  I love Applebee's because there is so much to choose from.  It's always nice visiting with these ladies.  I always learn so much from them.  I love Pat and I'm glad she moved down by us.  She is always so happy.  Pat is straight forward and tells it like it is.  No beating around the bush with her which I really admire.  She does have filter and is never offensive.  She's a fun gal and has lots of energy.  I'm happy that even though Susan has moved that she is still included.  Susan use to live on our street but since Jody died she moved to a smaller place in Roy.  Susan adds wisdom and fun to our group.  Kathy usually makes us laugh even though she also is very wise.  Robin keeps us all grounded.  She's sweet and pure to the core.  I'm not sure what I add but hopefully it's fun and light.  I'm just glad to be included.  I love taking time with my friends.  I'm glad my neighbors are my friends.  We all get along.  Even the neighbors that work and can't join us are wonderful and great!
