Dear Robert,
It's so great to hear from you. I can't believe I am less than 5
miles from you but it's as if you are already in Thailand to me.

It sounds like you had a super week - both spiritually but also
with friends and with the language! That's awesome. When
this new group of missionaries arrive will they mix up companions
or do you think you will have the same companion the whole time
you are in the MTC?

When Dad and I were first married we served a mission in the South
East Asian Branch - dad was a counselor in the presidency and
translated for the branch president; I served with the Young Women.
We served in the branch for two years. We met and loved so many
Thai, Loa, Moung, Cambodian and Vietnamese people. They were
all refugees fleeing their war torn countries from tyrants and corrupt
governments that killed innocent people. I learned to love so much -
give so much and be completely unselfish while serving in that branch.
I would have done anything for any of my girls and dad and I loved the
men and women of the branch. I am still very close to many of the
young women. It's so wonderful to see them grow up and grow in the
gospel. When I went back to VA in June I visited with some of them.
Right now, one of my Beehives (then) is now serving in Young
Womens and told me how grateful she was for our love and support.
She was the only member in her family. I picked her up for church
every Sunday even though it was out of the way. She is now married
in the temple with three beautiful children and pregnant with number 4.
You now have that same opportunity to show people in Thailand
Christ unconditional love for them.

Thailand is beautiful - even the areas that don't have much money
not because of the physical beauty (which is there too) but because
most people have great love in their hearts. They want to give their
children a good life just like we do, and they work very hard to do all
that they can. You, too have a very strong work ethic. You will be
able to connect with them on so many levels. :)

Well, the weather in Provo is crazy - last night there was a
violent thunderstorm but today the weather is beautiful.

Dad and I take either 3 or 5 hour shifts taking care of Cayson so
Jessica and Tate can sleep through the night. Jessica has to get
up to sleep but we at least can burp him and get back to sleep.
We divide it up so that one of us can get a few hours sleep and then
trade off.

I hope you are well. If there is anything you need, please let us
know so we can have it delivered to you while we are right here!
