This week's email (part 1)

This week's email also keeps bouncing back to me. Trying again...

Dear Momma,
I think I sent last week's email to you 3 times, and it kept bouncing back to me. Did you get it at all? I'll sen a copy of it off one more time just in case.
Could Jeremiah's new area be Springville? That's really close to Provo. I understand where he's coming from - I think practically all missionaries have at least one or two areas (if not all of them) that they really fall in love with. I would've been content to stay in Sundsvall my entire mission. It's tough, but I think it means we're doing something right. We're supposed to love the people. It's hard giving everything you've got to someone, loving them, struggling over them, and watching them grow, and then saying a quick goodbye and taking off (and even that quick goodbye is kind of a luxury we miss more often than not). There's very little closure with this work.
I'd love to draw something for Casey's gravestone. It may take me a little while (a week or two), but I'll come up with something. Would you like the sword and shield together or separate?
