I know today is a special day for you. I hope you can count your blessings with joy. It is the first holiday you spent away from me. You were only four days old and not quite ready to leave NICU. They dressed you in a little pirate costume to celebrate. Eight years later you were baptized on Halloween. Ten years after that, she said 'sure'. Two years later you will see a specialist to get your health back in order. I wonder what next year will bring?
We carved pumpkins tonight and had the ward trunk or treat last night. Rick gave his homecoming talk today. It was so awesome to hear him share stories from his experiences on his mission where the spirit directed the way. I will share a few things he said. "President Holland spoke in his mission while visiting and taught the missionaries to -Seek for and follow the Holy Ghost." Later on Rick said that in the beginning he would ascertain who was ready to hear the gospel or not, but somewhere in the middle of his mission he came to the point where he couldn't bear to see someone pass by without sharing the gospel. He then said that the spirit wouldn't direct his words until after he initiated a conversation.
I hope you are aware of the spirit directing your path. I am sorry your thyroid is not working correctly. I have peace in my soul that you are in good hands. I hope you will find a few minutes to study it out and pray for guidance. It was nice to visit with your mission mama, sister Pack. When I got her voicemail on your birthday, I thought oh no, my sweet pyro son must have celebrated with firecrackers instead of candles and caught his home on fire. I was relieved when I returned her call to learn that I was wrong. Upon hearing the news, I was vacillating back and forth between fear and faith concerning your health. After my fair share of tears and prayer I chose to have faith and have felt comforting peace during this time of concern. I will forward the email I sent to her about our family medical history. Please let me know how your doctor appointment goes today. Hopefully, you'll get your ganas back soon. Remember the Savior's response to every trial is "Lift up your heart and be of good cheer." Just read it again today in the first few chapters of 3 Nephi 1:13 when the Nephites are afraid they will be killed on the morrow if the sign of his birth isn't given. I love you!
Love,
Mom
Fun week in the mission.
Happy Halloween Mom,
This week has been good and I've been waiting for this day for a long time. As a district we carved pumpkins listened to music and eat lots of candy 
. They've started me on a pill that I have to take every day before I eat like grandma, I hope that I get better. They're going to start me on a lower powered pill and then move up. I'm not excited to take medicine for the rest of my life. It's been kind of hard to accept it because I don't want to have a problem. I hope that my energy gets back to where it was before. I really like your letter that you sent me, I love all the special things that I've done in my life. Thank you for the reminder of all the blessings in my life. I love you so much mom and I'm super excited to speak and talk to all you guys. In two months. I want to hear more from Rick, he sounds like he really loved his mission! I love you so much I'm so glad that your my sweet momma and that I have a sweet family. Happy Halloween love Moroni
