Wasn't conference soooo great?! I started crying when Elder Renlund spoke about the two missionaries... the companion who wouldn't work hard. Did you love that? I felt like that was for you:) I always feel a little sad when conference is over. Where did you watch? Could you hear it in English? And, yes... why the FLDS rainbow? I have no idea but it never fails that at least one choir is going to wear those "special" colors.
My favorite part about conference is thinking that we are doing the same thing at the same time. Even though we are 1000s of miles apart, our whole family is watching the same thing. That makes me so very happy! When the ensign comes out with the conference talks, I'll mail one to you.
I was really sad to hear the voices that would not sustain the prophet. Could you hear that? I read an article about it this morning and the writer suggested that those who sustain Pres. Monson take it a step further. After we raise our hand to sustain him, we should take away one thing that touched us during conference and use it to make a positive change in our life this month. Something that will bring us closer to the savior. So, I've decided to focus on serving each day. In my morning prayers I'm going to ask Heavenly Father to help me see the need of someone and be able to offer service to one of his children each day. It has been something I've been trying to do more but I know I'm not doing enough. So that is how I will sustain Pres. Monson. How about you? Is there something that really struck you during conference that you can work on this month? What were your favorite parts?
Did you get my easter box yet? I got together with some other Prosper Missionary moms this week. It was really great. We met at the Argyles house and we each brought one small thing to put in each missionary's next box. So... I have another box for you:) It is just some small items but I'll get it sent out this week. Do you need anything?
How has your week gone? I'm so anxious to hear. Did you do the things I asked you to? 1. Study Daniel 2. Look for tender mercies 3. Pray to have more love for your companion and the others you work with and serve. How did that go?
Are you working with any investigators? How is Marvin doing?
I wrote you so much this week so I won't make this too long. I just want you to know how much I love you and miss you ... as always! Have an amazing week, my sweet son!
love, infinity plus infinity,
momma
p.s. Karlee Winters mission call is going to Oakland CA to work in the temple visitors center. She leaves in May! Other people that are getting mission calls aren't leaving until August so it seems really quick!
[p.s.s. We had a family get together today for Easter and watched a home video of you, Abby and Gray. Such great memories of that culdesac. We watched one of you 8 year old baseball games with the Astros:) xoxo You were a beast:)
