Dear Jordan,
I just got home from teaching Hannah and Rachel how to drive. We are all
alive and breathing a little easier. Both did very well. The van's
battery had run down so that we needed to have a jump. Fortunately
Jerone Richards was driving by and helped. Since I needed the car to run
for a while I asked Hannah and Rachel if they wanted to go driving.
Both said yes. Both may have their licenses by the time you come home.
Mom is teaching her classes again and it looks like it will be both Wednesday
and Thursday. Bekah is taking swimming lessons on Tuesday/Thursday so we will
have to figure something out on how to get mom to her classes and Bekah
to hers.
Sarah has the week off from school due to spring break. The other girls will have spring break in two weeks. Next Monday through Wednesday mom and I will be at a conference in St. George. Grandma said she will drive the girls to and from school.
We had snow on the ground on Sunday and have been receiving rain and
snow during the week. Fortunately it hasn't stayed on the ground and
there is snow in the mountains.
From the news we keep hearing about North Korea firing into South
Korea's space but no casualties. There was a town that was evacuated for
a while. We hope that you are safe. We also hope that the people will
use these situations to turn to the Lord.
The missionaries are still teaching Kelton in our ward. He is nine and
his mom is a member. We have been trying to get them to attend our ward
so that he can be baptized. They were supposed to come on Sunday but it
fell through. We we have to wait until after General Conference. I
thought it was interesting that you will have to wait for the Korean
translation of Conference before you can hear it.
Any word on Mother's Day yet or do we need to wait for you to have
another zone conference to talk with someone who would know? We will
come up with a list of questions from the family so you won't have to
repeat too many times.
Your last email sounded so positive and upbeat. It was wonderful! We are
so glad that you are able to use your Chinese and Korean. Do you
sometimes mix them up or because they are so different you really can't?
When I started speaking Spanish with the Galena Branch, it was like
grinding gears to get my mind back into the Spanish mode. It is much
easier now. I noticed that you have started having some spelling errors
but I bet it is due to having to type so fast.
I got to look at your picture in the stake office on Tuesday. We still don't have your picture up in our ward yet. That is probably good because it would remind us more of how we miss you.
Please keep up the great work you are doing. It is true. We love you.
Your Heavenly Father loves you. Jesus loves you. Even when the work is
hard and the day is long, please remember that those who are for you
outnumber those against you.
We pray for you and your success in doing the will of the Lord. We care
about you and look forward to seeing you again soon. You have completed 4
months already. The time is going by quickly.
We love you. Big hugs to you.
Hannah, Rachel, Bekah, dad, Mom, Sarah
