Its a great day when I receive an email from my favorite missionary.  It has been a great week for Austin.  He is learning fast what it takes to be a missionary.  He is starting to be able to see the big picture and realize that this is preparing him for the rest of his life.  Its tough, but definitely worth it.  This weekend a member of the quorum of the twelve is visiting, Quentin L. Cook.  Austin is very excited.
The weather seems to be bipolar in Waco.  It seems more drastic than our weather.  One day it is 80 degrees and very humid and the next its pouring rain and 40.  Kind of sounds like our weather in Syracuse, Utah.
He has finished the book of Mormon and is focusing on Jesus the Christ.
He loves the gummy bears I sent him.  Hehehe  He also commented that his weight continues to increase.  I have pictures that he sent me.  We will be the judge of that.  I cant imagine Austin gaining too much weight.
His spiritual thought was upon finishing the book of Mormon and how depressing the last couple of chapters  
of Moroni are... the anguish that Mormon and Moroni feel for the nephites and the lamanites is immense, and you can feel the sadness in their words.
I love being a mom, and I am so blessed that my Heavenly Father has entrusted me with 4 wonderful children.  My blessings continue to grow.
