5-27-13 Zone Conference

Dear Family,

[This past week, Michael's cousin Dave returned from his mission in Romania.  In August, his sister Amanda will head out to serve in North Carolina, and while she is out her younger brother Nathan will overlap a few months.] 

Wow that is a lot of overlap for that family, I am glad they will have at least some time together. 

5-20-13 Fences and Commandments (Snail Mail letter)

Dear Family,

We just finished practicing to sing “We’ll Bring the World His Truth” which we will be singing at Zone Conference on Wednesday. (Which is yesterday when you get this.)  Hopefully all goes well.

5-20-13 Service using all Talents

Dear Family,                                                                          

Thank you so much! I got to try out my shoes this morning, it was great! I haven't gotten any other packages, but we haven't gotten the mail yet today so we will see. Thank you again for all your support. 

5-13-13 Mother's Day

Hey! I am sorry that I kind of interrupted last night! [We don't think he realizes that nothing was more important than getting to Skype him.  There were no interruptions.]  I also am sorry I didn't say anything productive or really important, I was just trying to think of what to say. I loved seeing you guys too. It was fast for me as well, but I loved it. Thanks for all your support. I will do the best I can. Thanks for the help!

5-6-13 Right Time and Right Place

I already opened the package. That was a very surprising letter. I am glad it all went so smooth. [Our dear sweet Dee Dee Gardner passed away this past week.  It was a surprise for all of us.]
