Thanks, Momma and Keira! I'll be looking for the packages. I got a few birthday cards this week from people in the ward. I wish I could have you thank them for me, but I forgot to write them down this morning.
Nate's package absolutely made my week! He wanted to send me flowers, but you know that wouldn't work through the mail, so he had his nieces make me some paper flowers, then he bought an art book and taught himself to draw flowers and sent me the sketches. It was so sweet! He also sent a gold necklace with a few little stones in a heart.
I'm so excited for Franklin to have missionaries again! Do you know who's going to be called as the ward mission leader? That's kind of a newer thing - I'm not sure if they'd made that calling yet the last time Franklin had missionaries.
Hey, now. How come you never took me horseback riding when I was little? I swear, that girl has all the fun... Sorry you got a stubborn horse. I hope your knee and your hip heal up quick. I hope it hasn't put you off from the activity. Provided I'm not too scared of the horse, I might have to try that out when I get home... in 8 months... Good grief, it's going fast! I didn't think so at the beginning. It seemed like I'd be here forever. But it has gone pretty fast in hind-sight... I'm guessing that's a feeling I'll be having for the rest of my life, right?
I have a request for you and Rich - kind of a continual homework assignment. My companions families sometimes send them inspirational stories or talks that they like. Sometimes they've been really helpful in our lessons, but even if they're not they're fun to read. Could you start looking around for good stories or talks that you've liked (from church, family, emails, the church website, whatever) and send them to me every now and then? And send some pictures too! ;-)
I'm glad I got to chat with you a little today, Momma. I love you - A LOT!
Have a wonderful week - don't forget to see the flowers and the sunshine (between the rain and hailstorms). ;-)
Love,
Syster Hillary Kiser
