Well, its mothers day (Sunday). I thought about writing about mothers but I thought that I would write to you instead!
I love being here in the Santa Rosa Mission serving the Lord my God. I want to thank you for your love and support.
Remember the times cracking nuts and watching the David Letterman show? Staying up late on a school night talking to you about my frustrations and troubles? Walking around Salt Lake City taking pictures of all the Olympic stuff and 2-3 o'clock in the morning? Ya, good times. You have always been there to help me whenever I needed it. But what I will always remember most, is your love for the gospel. No matter what came your way no matter how hard it was for you, you always remained faithful to the Lord. If it weren't for your example, I'm not sure if I would be were I am today. You taught all us kids what it meant to stand up for what you believe in and to always trust in God.
Thank you for being there and trusting in the Lord, and doing what you know to be right. I know that He is proud of you and your desires to live close to Him. I'm proud of you for the mother that you are and the mother you have become.
I love this gospel with all my heart, and my Savior Jesus Christ. I know He lives and we can live with Him again. I'm grateful for the temples and the blessings of the temple, that I can be with my family forever. I'm glad that I get to be with you, my father, my brother, my sister and their families for time and all eternity. What a great plan Heavenly Father has for us! I hope that you will continue to always remember this plan and strive to be more and more like our Savior Jesus Christ.
I know that He continues to guide us through His prophets, that President Thomas S. Monson, is His prophet on earth today. I'm grateful for the scriptures, Bible and Book of Mormon, for the greater knowledge and understanding of His gospel and plan for us.
He lives! Thank you for all that you have done for me, I'm grateful for you and the things you have taught me.
Mom, Remember who you are and what you stand for! I love you! Happy Mother's Day!!!!
Thank you so much my first ever born daughter! I love and adore you more than you will ever know! You keep me hoppin! (even if its doing the running man backwards) haha! I cherish every time rolling down the hill at the University, every pie making day, every tear we shed. =] You have such a zeal for life, and I love you so much for that. I have loved watching you jump out of airplanes(gasp), repeat every disney movie line by line, dance every recital, play and sing to the guitar and piano, perform the Sai Kata in the Miss West Point pageant, kneeling in prayer talking to your Father in Heaven...I could go on forever. I am so grateful to a loving Father in Heaven, who loved and trusted me enough, to have entrusted me with your care. I know that without Him, I could not have raised 3 such beautiful children with such amazing testimonies of the Gospel! You have taught me so much and I love you for that. Thank you for the wonderful tribute! I love you and miss you so much it hurts!♥ You have NO idea how proud of you I am, and your choice to serve a mission!! You rock!! Now go and give em heaven! I LOVE YOU!!♥♥ MOM
