It's strange, none of us had anything terribly earth-shattering to say, there were even pauses when no one was saying anything, but just the fact that for 40 minutes we were all together (in voice) was really good. I didn't even tear up until I said the last goodbye and I love you. Then I just couldn't bring myself to hang up the phone.
(He asked me to remind him again when Mother's Day is. I told him the 2nd Sunday in May and he said, "Oh, like 2 months. We'll just do another 'MTC time' and we'll talk again."
OK, then--here's to 2 more months!)
Here are a few photos from the memory card he sent us this week:
He called this his "dramatic" pose
This one he called the "class picture"--these guys are all from AFHS
His district at the famous map: Elder Webb, Elder Hatch, Elder Redmon, Sister Swenson, Sister Scruggs
Elder Hatch & Elder Redmon in what he calls "the most patriotic picture ever"
I was tearing up just reading about the phone call. Why is it so hard to be a Mom?
ReplyDeleteYou have me crying now! It really can be hard to be a mom sometimes can't it? Only two months... we can make it!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see he managed to get the really important MTC picture by the map. :-) Here's hoping the next two months go by quickly for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you shared this! I'm not a missionary mom yet, but I hope I will be someday. He looks happy! I'm glad you got to enjoy his laugh. I'm sure it's those little things that you miss the most. Here's to Aubrey and all the success in the world!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad that they both couldn't get their ties to blow in the wind together. This has a Superman look.
