Happy, Happy, Happy!

 Sis Beal,
My husband and I are traveling through Spain, and attended church in Gijon this morning, where we met and were greeted by your wonderful and handsome son....and thought you would like a picture of him with his current companion, Elder Walker.

Your son looks happy and loving the work he is doing.  We so admire the missionaries!

Elder Beal,

This week I am especially grateful for faith in Christ.  I know it seems simple enough but only through Him can we accomplish anything.  Activating our faith by works and sincere prayer can bring about miracles. Faith also can grant peace greater than earthly description that outshines the darkest storms. Peace that will safely guard and guide us home. Life is precious and fleeting.  I am sad that I am only beginning to understand this concept now.  It is so important to love and serve those whom we encounter and especially those who we are linked for eternity to. I often have taken for granted and assumed that all my children know that I love them more than anything. That I am very proud of them.  That I think they are amazing. Yet, I neglect to often to remind them of these truths. This is my new goal, to love deeper by expressing my love more frequently in the lives of my family.

Bishop would like to get your plaque ordered and up on the wall in the next couple of weeks.  What scripture did you want displayed on it? What would you like for your birthday?

I will send a couple of pictures from my phone in a separate email.  I love you.

Forever in my thoughts and prayers.

Love, 

Mom

Hey muchacha,

This week has been pretty crazy but it's been pretty awesome at the same time. First of all, HAPPY CUMPLEAÑOS!!!!!!!!!! Turing thirty is definitely a good age for yah. I'm so proud to be your son, I show everybody pictures of you and they all say, "Que Hermosa," "Que joven." Or how beautiful, how young. We have spent almost 20 years together, that's awesome. I hope that y'all go and do something amazing. I love you mom and I have been thinking a lot about how much you guys show me that you love me. Over the years I can think back to all the times you have told me that you've loved me. A lot of children have not had that opportunity. I think that you guys have been so strong in raising us kids in the gospel. I've thought about being a dad and it scares me, to have young guy following my every move is going to be crazy. I hope that you that you enjoyed being a mom to me even though it was a long and windy road to get me on this straight and narrow path. Because I definitely did. Thank you Mom. By the way Enrique's wife Orfelina is getting baptized this week, on Friday. I'll send you some pictures, they're so cute. Te quiero madre, espero que disfrutes tu día de nacimiento.

Chao. Moroni
