Bonus Email from my Missionary

I love Mondays when we get to hear from Bridger and see how his week has gone.  This week's email was  a little rough as he had to break up a confrontation between two missionaries and his description was quite descriptive it also stated how sometimes he misses the spirit of being a missionary when he has to take care of the business side of things.  I read his email at lunch and then figured it would be another week until hearing from him, oh how wrong I was.  After work I looked at my email to find a bonus one that came through.  Sometimes, it's strange how it takes a long time for some of them to come through, this one was worth the wait for sure.

The ironic part of this was on Sunday my neighbor had given me a book to read called, Mommy do I have to go on a Mission.  It's a touching story about a young boy, who grows up and knows he will miss his mom, and wonders if she will miss him, too.  But, at the end realizes how sad he is to leave the people he has grown to love and it's a tear jerker to say the least.  Then this bonus email.  Truly a tender mercy from a loving Heavenly Father who knows and understands how hard it has been to send our boy out into the mission field.  Knowing just how much he will be missed, but realizes how much he is going to grow too.  Thank you so much Bridger for touching my heart, and making me remember that all I ever wanted to be was a mom, and this is why.  Enjoy...

I am such a lucky mom...three times!!!
