I am a blessed mother. There are times when I was raising my 4 children that I wondered if Heavenly Father had made a mistake. I feel inadequate to be a mother to wonderful children, and at this time especially Austin. My heart is so completely full it is leaking out of my eyes. I have less than a week until I talk with my favorite elder.
In his letter today it is his 3 month anniversary for being out in the mission field. I wonder, as a mom, will it get easier? I enjoy the blessing of peace that has encompassed my home since he left. I feel like my Savior has his arms wrapped around my family.
The missionaries had a conference this week. Elder Cook spoke to them. Austin wrote, "the one specific thing that nearly brought me to tears was the end of the conference talk he gave, where he promised us that those who have left/or strayed from the gospel will come back. It brought such joy to my heart, and I KNEW!!! that what he said was true. It brings great comfort into my heart."
Austin is so excited for all of his friends that are receiving their mission calls. he said that Arizona will be money for Dallyn Zaugg:)
"Jesus Christ is the son of God!!! Through Jesus Christ, and his atonement, we can treturn to live with our Heavenly father, and be worthy to enter in his presence, and feel an incomprehensible joy that will exceed anything that we feel on this earth. I look forward to the day where I can look up at the Savior, and honestly tell him that I have done all that I could, and for Him to accept me into the celestial kingdom, and allow me to enter into his presence for eternity" Elder Wilcox's testimony.
He and his companion have many baptisms this month.
Words cannot express the feelings that I am feeling. He is a great example to me, and so many others. I will never forget when I brought him home from the hospital and I had an overwhelming feeling he would be my first missionary. I knew it without any doubt.
