Today was a hard day for me as a mom. Two of my boys, so far away! I am proud of both of them for what they are doing in their lives. I just wish I could give them both a hug!
Another great gift in the email box: A letter from Jordan!
He writes:
It's another beautiful day here at the MTC. Well, that's what they tell us to say. But it really is. I'm no longer district leader, the companionship that rooms with us became zone leaders, and we are all having a great time.
Thanksgiving was good, the food was nice as usual, and we got to have Elder Holland speak here!! Me and my companion got up at 6 and waited in line to get front row seats (well, third row, the first two rows were reserved for family).
He gave a great talk about gratitude, and even quoted his previous talks about missionary work that he's given here in past years. He's a great speaker. He said: THIS IS NOT A 2 YEAR MISSION THEN YOU RETURN BACK TO REAL LIFE. THIS IS REAL LIFE. THIS IS AS REAL AS IT WILL EVER GET IN THIS LIFE FOR YOU. Great talk, really motivational. I will let you know how my first Thanksgiving in Korea is, but it was great here. I hope we get another good talk from an Apostle on Christmas! Thank you thank you thank you for the rolls, all of the elders loved them (including me)!He continues.... (He tried Korean food at a couple of places before he left for the MTC.)
Korean food is the most delicious and most healthy food on the planet! It's wonderful. I can't wait to get to Korea. The older district is leaving next week, leaving us alone for a week, then they'll get fresh new Korean missionaries in! We are now done with 4 weeks, starting our 5th week tomorrow, so we aren't quite halfway, but we'll get there.
Mom and dad: THIS IS IMPORTANT! Know how much I love you. I just got your package this morning, and it was nice to get coffee cake!
Wow, it's been almost a month since he's been gone. So happy to know that he is doing well!
