BONJOUR! How are you three? I hope all is well and wonderful in your lives. I am having a GREAT day....my last Tuesday at the MTC! Can you believe it? It went by all too fast.

 

We got our travel plans last week, and it made us all SO excited. That day was also 11-11-11, and at 11:11 one of the districts on our hallways starts jumping up and down the halls saying "onze-onze-onze-onze" hahaha. Some things are only funny/exciting in the MTC. Dad, that's really cool that you ran an 11K that day! And mommy, I'm so sorry about your toe! I'm also sorry that I laughed when I read about it..it's just, I don't know any one else but you or I that could break their toe while teaching piano lessons on a Boggle game box no less. hahahaha. Oh mommy, I hope it feel beter soon, boots are no fun. How are you Spencer? How is work going?  

 

Now the moment you have been waiting for...YES I do get to call you from the airport! WOOOO!  

I leave monday morning! I can't wait! I have a couple of layovers, so I will call you from one of those. Most likely, I will call you from Chicago around 3:50 chicago time.....but I'm not sure. I could also call you really late that night, or early the next morning. Just be ever vigilant for you phone that day, ok? (This is a bonus phone call for Mom and Dad since the only other times we will get to talk with her on the phone are Christmas Day and Mother's Day.)

 

I'm thankful for the priesthood we had in our home growing up. I have been studying about the Priesthood a lot this week, and I am just so thankful for it. Wow, I just started typing about prophets and I was having a hard time expressing my testimony about it in English! But, I am thankful to know the pattern of the Lord - He called prophets anciently, and each of those prophets had authority from God to direct His work, and each of them testified of Jesus Christ. I know that Christ did live on the earth, and establish His church and gave His priesthood to the apostles. I know that after centuries of darkness, and confusion, the truth was restored to the earth through the prophet Joseph Smith, and that we are blessed to live in a time where we have a prophet on the earth today, Thomas S. Monson. I am so thankful that the priesthood is again on the earth, and for all of the worthy priesthood holders that have blessed my life in countless ways, and that through the Priesthood we can participate in ordinances, like baptism, that allow us to qualify for eternal life. I know that repentance is real. I know that the Savior's Atonement is more powerful than we imagine, and that He suffered, died, and was resurrected that we may all return to live with God.

 

My time is almost out. I love you. I think of you. I pray for you. I am trying everyday to be more and more dedicated to this work of the Lord, and to be a worthy and willing servant of Him. He gives me so much peace and assurance.

 

Never forget He loves you, no matter what.

 

Love, Soeur Waldron
