thanks mom. seriously don’t worry about sending letters and stuff; it’s not a huge deal… honestly! it would just be nice every once in a while to get some pictures or some drawings from the kiddos, cuz i know it’s expensive. so don’t stress over it at all. i don’t get sad over it. i’m just glad i can email you guys and you can get it the next second. it’s a great blessing.
it was so great to hear from you guys yesterday. i was kind of worried that i would get homesick again after hearing from you, but i’m not at all… not that i don’t miss you. i’m just not sad like I thought I would be. it was so fun to hear Jackson and Katelynn and Sadie and Ellie. they seem like they’ve grown so much in the last three months!
i just want to say "thank you mom" for all you do. i would not be here without you. you have always helped me in everything that i do. none of the missionaries would be here without the help of their parents. i have been truly blessed to have two loving parents that encourage me to do the right thing. i’m sorry i wasn’t always perfect like my sisters, but i don’t regret my past. i have grown so much from my experiences and have learned many great lessons. i have a strong testimony of this church; especially of Jesus Christ and the Atonement. He suffered all pains, sorrows, and afflictions for us so that we wouldn’t be alone. he knows how we feel when we are sick, when we hurt physically or mentally, when we feel alone. He was the only real being who was literally alone!... and He did that so that we don’t have to be alone. He suffered and overcame death, so that we can live with our Heavenly Father and our families again. that is the greatest feeling of all… to know that i can see my brother Brett again and live with my family for eternity. does it get better than that? i submit that it does not… and He took upon himself all the sins of the world. every person that has ever lived or that will live in this life He took upon him their sins! we all make mistakes and thanks to Jesus Christ we can be forgiven and have that weight taken off our shoulders. WOW… what an amazing feeling… and what a great experience to share that with others! everyone deserves to know that and to really see how much our Savior loves them. we would be robbing from God if we didn’t share that with others and we would also be really selfish. anyone who feels like they shouldn’t serve should take a second look and realize what our Savior has done for them. if they’ve made mistakes, that’s alright… repent! what a beautiful thing! they can be forgiven!
i want you to all know how much i love you and miss you. thank you for all that you have done and do for me. i have been truly blessed in so many ways.
