Random thoughts......Birthday wishes!!!!

Saturday was our grandson Brody's birthday, and we spent a fun time saturday with him, and listening to conference, coloring easter eggs, and just spending time together. What a great time.
We also had an email from our missionary son Brett, and he has been made an AP, in his mission, and he was so surprised but very excited, and nervous. I miss him terribly at this time, it is his 21st birthday on Monday the 5th, and I want to spend it with him. Since we cannot do that, I will be thinking of him all day, and feeling so happy and honored of his decisions he has made in life, and just the great person he is. I know our Heavenly Father is happy with him, he is His messenger of the the gospel to the people in the Philippines. I love you Brett, and wish for the next 4 months to go quickly but also for you to be the best missionary ever, and stay close to the Lord for guidance. Happy Birthday my dear Son........

It has just been a wonderful weekend with conference and Easter, and being with family....and having our new floor done to enjoy it all...I will post pictures later.......Love to all !!!!!!

Conference Week-end, Easter

What joy my heart feels when I listen to conference!! It speaks to my soul, and gives me renewed convictions to become a better person. I know my Redemer Lives, and that these are prophets of God, to guide us in these perilous times. What Joy I feel.......!

Missionary News

• Hey guys, things are going pretty good for me right now. My new comp is from Dumageti. He is my second Filipino comp so that is pretty cool. We are both actually going home in Aug so that is cool. We are just trying to get used to each other but its going to be okay.
• We are starting over with new investigators. Our old ones have pretty much stopped coming and are no longer progressing so we are looking for new people. So all we do is walk around and tract and teach its way tiring. But its all good, and soon coming to an end.
• I am getting a new Mission President in July. We will miss Pres. Ho Ching. But then I am coming home, so its all good.
• Always be obedient so the blessings will be there. That is what we keep saying. Thanks for everything and continue on and God will bless us all.

Fun times at Grandmas House

While Chloe was sick in the hospital Lydia and Brody stayed with us, and we had a ball. Bath time with the bubbles were a big hit. The last picture was right before Chloe was real bad and they were all resting on my lap one evening at our house. Sure do love these kids. Just wish I had Dexter here too.

Wonderful Family Time

As time just keeps on flying by, our memories of family togetherness warms my heart. The Holidays are so special, but having our Daughter and family here with us was the best ever. We all had a great time, but that too is over. Everyone is safely home in their own corner, but our joy will last forever.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone, and may God bless you and your family during this holiday season. We love all of you!!!!!

Our Happy Missionary Son

• Hey parents of the coolest missionary ever. Things are going good out here for me in Antipolo. We have lots of progress in the works.
• Man I just love the mission I think I'm the happiest missionary every alive. I don't know why all I can think is because I love the work. Honestly I know we must do absolutely everything possible for you to obey the commandments and live according to the will of God . This is what makes us happy. I know that there is a blessing for every righteous thing we do.
• My new area is rich, big houses, nice cars, and lots of presents. Different than my other areas.
• Tell everyone hi for me. Especially family members. I love you all lots. Elder Loveless
• We feel so blessed that Brett is so happy, and what more could we ask than this. I know the Lord blesses him and all missionaries when they are obedient in all things. Merry Christmas to us as his parents.!!!!
