Mom's first letter to J in the MTC

I woke the girls to The Beatles' GOOD MORNING (quite loudly, of course!) and I thought of you. It's been so fun showing people the last picture I took of you as we dropped you at the MTC. I've attached it for your reference :)

This morning I used your story as a missionary opportunity. One of the Spectrum moms asked about you: "I heard he just shipped out to overseas somewhere...when will you see him again?" (in a strong NJ accent). It was shocking to her that you weren't "drafted," and that you've talked about doing it since you were a little boy, and that you're not paid to go.

A similar thing happened at the chiro last week. One of the other patients asked where you were, and I had the opportunity to share your story. You're such a good example!

Everyone asked about you (of course), yesterday, at church. Helen said to be sure to look for her granddaughter who also departed/arrived on Wednesday. Her name is Sister (Katie) King.

I love you like crazy, kiddo!  <3 Mom
