Dear Children,

Question: How many Haitians can one put in a little Kia Sportage?


Hi my dear children.

I love you so so much. The hardest part of our mission is being so far from you.

I know that when young men and women go on a mission, they are told to immerse themselves in the work and that the Lord will bless their family. At this time when Aimee is about ready to have a baby, and the other grandkids are growing up, and you are all progressing and making important decisions, I rely on those promises. We are fine and continue to try to do what the Lord would have us do. I have faith that you are doing all you can to be obedient and teaching your children. I pray each day that you are well and that peace reigns in your home. I also pray that Heavenly Father will guide you in your choices and decisions.

We had four baptisms on Saturday. We waited for something bad to happen. Last time we had so many was when our home was burglarized. One of the great blessings of a mission is the love we are given for the people we serve. We are afraid that the answers to our problems here will not come for several years, and after changes that the gospel can bring.

If you don’t hear from us it is only because we are busy. We love and miss you terribly.

Love, Mom and Dad
