Guess Who Came to Dinner

May 1, 2012
Dear Missionary Mothers,

Tonight we had the pleasure of having your sons to dinner. They were great company and kept us entertained. We can tell that they are great missionaries and we are thrilled to have them in our area!

Elder M. is brand new to our ward....just getting transferred here yesterday. With Elder Ehlers being here for a little while. However this was our first time to have him over. (we don't get the opportunity very often)

I asked them what they missed most from home. Their answers both included their moms. Elder M. mentioned missing his mama's mexican cooking...good ol' carne asada (?) and homemade tortillas. Also wrestling with her! Elder Ehlers misses his mom's voice and just being able to talk with her. I thought that was very sweet!  They are both looking forward to Mother's Day and skype!!!

We have a son serving in the Mexico Chihuahua Mission and a couple of times a mother has done this for me and it made my week. So Happy Mothers Day! You can be proud of your missionary sons! They are being a great representative of Jesus Christ. We look forward to having them in our home again very soon!

Are you part of the missionary mom email group? I am, and it has been a fun experience. You might check it out. If you google missionary mom and check out a site with ourldsfamily.com, that is how you can get connected with moms in your son's mission. 

Have a great week!
