Love Mom September 13

Date Submitted: September 13

Hi Sweet Boy! Checking in. I had a cool experience today. I was out visiting for missionary work (no one cares how much you know until they know how much you care, right? ) Anyway, I was talking to Ashton and Braden's Mom Stephanie and I was telling her about your leaving, and she shared this... She said "just a reminder he's doing the Lord's work and bringing the love and light of our wonderful Savior to those whom have not yet received the gift of his knowledge or knowing what that feeling of love from him is what they've wondered was in their hearts. " She continues "I've felt so lucky to have the knowledge of Christ and when I finally understood that the warmth in my heart, that I felt when things were tough was his love it changed me. Coy is bringing that joy to people who have no idea that's what it is and the gift he will give those he teaches is priceless." When I met her she was smoking like a chimney. It is so easy to judge who would be "interested" in church, but a testimony like that coming from someone who doesn't even come. The Savior is active in everyone's life, isn't he? It is so beautiful. We are so anxious for your news. Seth is watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and Annie and Dad are at the church at a Daddy Daughter date. She was very excited. I can't tell you how much we love you. Have a super great awesome spirit-filled day and know that your family is PLEADING and PRAYING for you and missing you SO MUCH. We are all so inspired by your faith and your example. “May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.” Love the Mom who will never let go no matter how far away you go!
