We thought of you two when we met a darling couple here in the MTC yesterday. They will be serving in San Diego (military mission) for 18 months. This is their 6th mission. He is 86 and she is 85! I’m glad you guys got an early start on all of your missions so you can top that in your youthful years!!!!! I know your family is excited to have you come home and “get back to work” on projects.😂 They have missed you!!!!

Because we haven’t know what they have or like it has been their “job” to do the purchasing. One wrote the other day and asked if she needed to wait until Christmas to read them.😄All of the adults combine their gift money to us and each other and we do service. <br />This year was our turn to “spend” and we were able to donate $1,200 to the Moroni Spanish Speaking Branch who have so many members and neighbors who lost work because of the bird flu in the turkey farms. We were a part of a larger group from the SLC area, the Catholic Church and Episcopal Church in Ephraim and were able to serve 80 families.
