Happy Mother’s Day to
all my friends and family who are called by the name Mom, Mommy, Ma, Mama,
Mother, Nanna, Grandma, Bugga, or whatever other name the little ones choose to
call you. What a blessing it is to be a mother
and grandmother and to feel the great love we do for our children and
grandchildren. How grateful I am today
for my own mother, for Mike’s mother(s) and for all the mothers who have
blessed my life through their goodness and example. How we appreciate our wonderful daughter and
daughters-in-law for their selfless service to their husbands and
children. Our love goes out to each of
you. This week David and Alexis had
birthdays, and Amy turned 12 on May 2 and entered the Young Women’s program of
the Church. Happy Birthday to All.
This week we had the great blessing of inspecting missionary
apartments. We visited two apartments on
Wednesday, one on Thursday, and one on Friday.
This was a wonderful opportunity to become better acquainted with six
sets of missionaries. We always enjoy
our association with these young people who are dedicating their lives to the
Lord’s service. They had done a pretty
good job of cleaning and being prepared for us.
On these days we spent a part of the day in the office also.
We have a new couple in Spain to help with the PEF contacts
there. We will be going to Spain again
to help train them and visit the temple on May 22 and return on May 25th. We always enjoy our trips and appreciate the
people in Spain who are so helpful to us.
We had Fast and Testimony Meeting today because of our Stake
Conference last weekend. The meetings
were most enjoyable. We love being with
the saints in Costa de Caparica. Today a young baby was blessed by the name of
Mandelson. We didn’t have babies in our
ward, just a couple of rowdy 2-year-olds.
Mike stood in on the blessing. We
both had the opportunity to bear our testimonies. It is so wonderful to have the gospel of
Jesus Christ in our lives and to know from whom our blessings come.
We pray for the Lord’s choicest blessings to be with our
friends and family.
