Dear Elder,
Hi, how are you? I hope your last week in the MTC is going well. I'm glad that you get to leave for Mexico soon and begin the next part of your mission to preach the gospel to Heavenly Father's children.
Dad has the day off today. He got a call from Cassandra which was a nice way to start the day. They have a home phone now, so we can call them whenever we want without worrying about their minutes. It is a long distance number, however, so we do have to worry about our minutes. Still, I'm hoping we can talk more.
I liked yesterday; it was a nice day. I spent much of my time driving kids to and from work. I also went visiting teaching. Sister Yarrington said she was so busy this week that she didn't even know when we could come visit, so I watched her kids for awhile instead so that she could get some things done.
Last night Miriam and I went to a barbeque with the camp leaders and youth camp leaders from girls camp. It seems like they all had so much fun, they don't want to let go of it. Heck, in just a few months, we'll be starting to plan the next one. It was a fun barbeque and I enjoyed being with Miriam.
We had home teachers at 9:00 last night. Pretty late, huh? They gave us a good message about sustaining our church leaders. They also gave us cookies :)
This morning I started reading the Book of John in order to study the characteristics of Christ. One of the characteristic I studied, and one of Christ's strongest characteristics is that of being a perfect son. He delights to glorify His father, Is with the father in all that He does, and participates in the work and the glory of His father Jn 1:1. It helps me want to be a better child to my parents and to Heavenly Father.
Well, I think I'm going back to bed. I love you, Matt. Have a wonderful Friday.
Love,
Mom
