The First Letter... Finally!

By three o'clock in the afternoon I had already checked the mailbox twice, but as we were leaving to go see the end of the "Tour of Utah" bike race I thought I would give it one more try.

 

There it was. I felt like a three year old jumping up and down and screaming! I don't think I have ever been so excited in my entire life!! It's here though and I have only read it four... maybe five... maybe ten times. I am so happy to hear that he's doing well. Maybe I'm being a little obnoxious since it's only been 6 days, but what can I say? I miss him!

"The letters you write me mean the world to me!!!"

"Apparently I'm the popular one in my room cause I've been receiving the most mail ;) (Thanks to the Jones Fam)"

"Your missionary loves you so much!"

It was like he knew exactly what I needed to hear from him! I am so happy that he's doing so well and I can't wait for more letters. I won't have Wifi in St. George this week so hopefully I can figure out a different way to send him letters over dear elder, which probably means I'll be texting my mom what to write to him.

Today I found that I WANTED to read my scriptures instead of it just being another thing on my list of things to do before I go to bed. I'm starting to be thankful for the little things!
