Dear Jordan,
We
have snow on the ground now. Not too much but it is still staying. The
temperatures have been in the 30s and 40s for most of the week. We hope
you are doing well. Any snow on the ground for you yet? Mom was
surprised when she found out that you have been writing to other people
(friends, etc). She was a little sad that you hadn't written to her last
week.
As you can see by the week number, you are coming up
on a year. To me it has been going by very fast. I hope you have enjoyed
it. Now that you are no longer a teenager, do you feel any different? I
didn't think so. Did you have a great birthday?
On Monday we
had Family Home Evening and Mom taught the lesson. It was on our bodies
as temples and keeping them clean. On Tuesday the girls had Young Women
in Excellence. Mom attended. The Young Men had their court of honor so I
was busy with that. After I was done I was to the YW program. You may
not have heard but Rachel finished her requirements and earned her Young
Women's medallion. Hannah is still working on it and Bekah is just
beginning. On Wednesday Hannah and Rachel had their interviews to
receive their patriarchal blessings. On Thursday I ran some errands. On
Friday I had the day off to prepare for the scout camp out. We went to
Ken Wood's cabin. Everything worked out very well. It was a little cold
but we didn't have to drive through any snow to get there. We ate dinner
and then had a scouter's minute. The boys and most leaders them played
games for a while. On Saturday we ate breakfast, packed our gear, and
cleaned the cabin. We then spent some time planning for next year. Just
as we finished, the snow started falling so it worked out very well. We
came home and dropped off everyone. Rachel then went to How the Grinch
stole Christmas with Robert. I went shopping for food.
Will Stamps then
came to our house. He will be staying until next Sunday. He let us know
that Reilly Stamps decided to come home from his mission in Chile. We
don't have much more information because he arrived back in NC a couple
of hours after Will had left to fly out here to Utah. On Sunday
Will went to church with us. After church we went to Robert's house for
dinner.
I finished reading The Book of Mormon again as part
of my daily reading. I love the book and I am so grateful to have it in
my life. I know it is true and I am grateful to have the teachings of it
available in my life. I am grateful that you are able to tell the
people of Korea about it so that they can know that God loves them and
wants them to have the blessings of the gospel in their lives.
We
are grateful to have you as our son. You are great. We appreciate the
choices you have made in you life to become the person you are. We love
you.
Please keep up the wonderful work you are doing. We
continue to pray for you and your safety and success for what Heavenly
Father wants you to do. I will now let you get to all of those other
emails you have. Love you again.
Love,
dad, Mom, Sarah, Hannah, Rachel, Bekah
