Hola mi Madre! Como esta? Estoy bein. Mi espanol es mejor then mi primero semano at la CCM. La comida es bein y yo sabe muchos amigos from Bonneville. Es muy importante por mi hablo mucho espanol por la dia y practicur ensenan.
I miss your hugs Mom, but the Holy Ghost come close to making me feel loved almost as much as you did. :) Thanks for the DearElders and for the little spiritual messages that are in them, they make me smile and laugh.
Sunday we had Elder and Sister Jarman talk to us. They are the ones in charge of what we get taught. And Sister Jarman told us about how we are as the army of Heleman. And she showed us a picture of and Ammonite mother hugging her stripling warrior. You know the story, they had perfect faith and trust in God because of their mothers.
Thank you for being a great mother.
All of my love, your stripling warrior

Hi, I am not a stalker! I came across your blog through another, and was thrilled to see your son is serving in Veracruz. My son is also there. Pretty ironic because in his email this week he said he(works in the office) will be going next Monday to pick up the new missionaries and help train them! It will be your son! My son has been out 18 months, and has LOVED his mission. President and Sister Hansen are the best and I couldn't have asked for better people to be there to serve these missionaries. They truly love these missionaries. I just noticed you have their blog, which is a great place to "look in" on the happenings there.
ReplyDeleteI wish your son the best, and he is getting ready to have some wonderful experiences!
And of course, good luck to you as a mom! Keep the faith, and don't watch the news :)
Sincerely,
Anne Page
Hi again!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I can't remember which site I found your blog, but I do remember there were a lot of missionary blogs on it! Sorry. If I run across it, I will let you know. Tyler(son) has his p-day on Saturday, so I will email him about picking up your son and giving him a special hello from his mother- how about that!
As far as his mission, he has had ups and downs, as they do, but a good mission president(and they have that for sure),will be a big help. Tyler has had mostly native companions, which is great for the language, but sometimes difficult with personalities. Some want to have "authority" and this can be difficult. The heat, walking, and food will probably be an issue at first, and this is the hot season, so Jordan will jump right into that! Other struggles have been Catholicism. Everyone is either Catholic, or their families are so they don't want anything new. Our family actually lived in Mexico for almost a year in the 90's and they are very humble people, and Jordan will come to love them and love their humbleness. They will treat Jordan like a son, which has been very comforting to me. I am not that experienced at all here, but I am trying to think of details that may help him from what Tyler went through. You are welcome to email me at apbp3687@aol.com if you have any questions. Reading his blog, sounds like he is WELL on his way to being a GREAT missionary! I know he will be fine, and the people of Veracruz will love him! Take care
