A Matter of a Blessed Life

This school year has flown by. Here we are in our last few days of teaching the Doctrine & Covenants and Church History. It has been a fascinating learning experience for all of us. Exploring the magnificent spiritual and sometimes challenging tenets of the Restoration has been a great blessing. We love our students and the experiences we have shared this year. We are excited to be part of graduation.

We love it when we are invited to be part of the baptisms that come every week. A picture is included of Mayra and her son who were baptized on Saturday. We see the joy in the families who choose to come and follow Him. The Sisters have another family who will be baptized on Friday. It is a family they found and taught right after the father died. They taught the plan of salvation and eased the pain of a young family. How grateful we are for the comfort and hope that come through the Atonement of Jesus Christ!

One of our YSAs leaves in two weeks for his mission in Provo. Orlando’s family jokes that they wish he had been called to a poor country where he could learn to appreciate what he has. Ha! We remember thinking the same thing when Steven was sent to Ventura, California. I firmly believe that no mission is easy. I also believe we are called where the Lord wants us.

We are looking forward to being in Utah next month for a few days. We are also excited to meet friends in San Antonio in a couple of weeks. Being senior missionaries has its perks! We can hardly wait to see Sean’s family before they start their new assignment in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was so great to hear from each of our children on Mother’s Day! We are so blessed! Miss you all. Sending our love and prayers your way…
