Another Called to Serve...

Well, it is official. Stetson has been called to serve in the Mexico Monterrey West Mission.  He enters the Provo MTC on June 12.  Am I ready to send another so soon...



He couldn't be happier.  He now has a blog, too.  Go ahead and check it out.  Many more pictures and the post here:  www.elderclaytoninmexico.blogspot.com

It's been a wonderful month.  Valentines brought me a wonderful surprise of a dozen red roses.  People say that flowers are a waste of money, but I would have to differ.  I love them.  Nothing like a fresh bouquet to remind you of the finer things of life and that someone cares about you.  Even though they don't last the reason and the message sent with them, do.

I have felt truly blessed this month in particular and can see the hand of a loving Father in Heaven in my life and those that I love.

 Gotta love, Costco chocolate cake
 A surprise package from Bridger, and it all arrived safely.
 Birthday dinner at Texas Roadhouse.  I think this is our seating arrangement everytime...ha-ha.
Talking to Bridger in Spanish.  Permission was given and it was fun to hear his voice, even if it was only for a few minutes.  Pretty soon we will hear it often as he returns in 20 days!!!

Life is good.  And if I didn't have such a firm testimony and faith and in all that I believe it would be harder than it already is.  But, it is an honor to send these boys out into the world to testify of our Savior and the promises given to all.  Just wish it went faster sometimes.  Love my boys so much, I guess that's why tears flow freely and all too often.
