Week 18 - The missionary age of innocence

Dear Jordan,

Mom and I just drove back from St George today so the email may be a little incoherent. I sent you a quick email about Reilly Stamps' call to Chile (yes, in South America). Brian Carlson received his call to Texas. Dillon Hill will be returning from Texas in May before heading to BYU to play football. Katherine Johnson is engaged to be married in June. Sarah turns 17 on Friday the 11th. She will be going to Junior prom on a
date.

We were able to watch General Conference over the weekend. Mom says that they have already posted the Korean version on the web. It was very enjoyable and there were many topics. Hannah actually watch the Priesthood session with me at home. I then went on a split with the missionaries. On Sunday we went to Robert's house. Robert did the lunch and I did the dinner. Robert did bbq pork and Robert rolls. We were pretty full after lunch so we didn't eat as much for dinner. I made the burritos with the green sauce. We had a lot of leftovers. Ben had his hands full.

Monday morning we got the girls to school and then we drove to St George. I was helping present at a conference. Grandma helped drive/pick up the girls from Monday afternoon until Wednesday afternoon. Mom and I enjoyed the trip. We did a little sight seeing and did a session in the St George temple. I also did another session and got to see the newest temple movie. I didn't like it as much as the older, new version because the acting was distracting. In the session with mom, we were chosen as the witness couple.
Sarah says "Hi!" I tried to get her to say more but I guess she is too tired. Ben is planning on taking Hannah and maybe Rachel to Comicon this next week.

We hope that you are doing well. Thank you on the updates on your languages. I think it is a great blessing for you to have the opportunity to learn two languages on your mission. How are you doing with the cultural differences? Did the majority of the current missionaries arrive during the summer and that is why they are so new and inexperienced for Mother's Day?

Please continue to study and pray. We know that you are working hard. Please work smart as well. Let the Spirit guide you as you make decisions but always be out and about so that people can be put in your path. They won't come knocking at your door very often.

We love you very much. We appreciate your emails and letters. The letter arrived in about 10 days. Mom sent you a letter in the mail on Monday so you should see it within two weeks.

Keep up the great work. We continually pray for you.

Love,
Rachel, Bekah, dad, Mom, Sarah, and Hannah
