          The first session I helped with today was full of missionaries.  I learned afterward in visiting with a few of the sisters, that 17 of them will be leaving for home tomorrow—eleven sisters and six elders.  Those sweet girls were understandably emotional, anxious to see their families, but sad to leave this life-changing experience behind.  One girl will be going home to Idaho Falls, another to Logan, one to Washington State and another to California.  We shared lots of warm hugs and goodbyes.

         It is still raining.  There was not nearly this much rain last year at this time because of the draught, so it is a welcome change! 

         As a missionary, a mom, and a friend, I encourage you to read the Ensigns—cover to cover.  They are filled with inspirational messages that are so relevant to issues, questions, and situations that we face every day.  These articles come through loud and clear on my kindle every day for 45 minutes while I “treadmill” and make the time go by so much faster.  It is not only the conference talks that are available, but all the Ensigns and other Church magazines.  It creates a wonderful tone for my day.

         Good Night All!
