Hey!!!! It is good hear from home again.

 

Sunday Certainly Sounds like it was a good day. We were blessed to have a Happy Sabbath so I guess that your wish for me came true for both myself and my companion.

 

I can't believe that Vara is almost 4!!!!! That is cool that you were able to Skype with them. I can imagine them playing Hide and Seek and having a pillow fight, cause that is stuff they would do fairly often. It is good to hear that they are both happy.

 

I find it amazing that such amazing events are taking place for President Vellinga to be able to confidently state that the visions and dreams of old are coming into fruition. It makes it humbling to know that I am part of that accomplishment, at least for the brief time I will be here. I believe, however, that it won't end with completion of my 2 years. I have come to learn what it truly means to be a missionary and I know that isn't something that can only be done by those who were called.

 

I will do all that I can, as well, To "catch the rain". It is great to know that There is a Bright side to every situation no matter the appearance. I am amazed at how much we understand as we grow up and also at how much of it we lose. I will always do my best to find the bright side in anything. That is what we have to do out here.

  

I love you too. I never said it enough or expressed to you how much I love you and am thankful for all that you have done for me, but I hope I can catch up now. I hope there is something I can start doing to catch up on what I have lacked.

 

Love,
