One Week From Today...

One week from today our boy comes home from Brazil! We are all so anxious to see him, to hug him, and hear all about the experiences he has had during mission!    

From a little boy...

To a man, seemingly overnight.

Each week when I write to Jordan in Brazil I send him two emails.  One e-mail is the news from home and the second e-mail is a "Q&A" and it contains only questions for him.  I decided to do this so that he didn't have to sift through letters to answer the questions I would ask. Jordan has been so good about answering each and every question I have sent him.
 
This week in my Q&A one of my questions was, "What are you looking forward to this week?"The answer he sent back made us smile as we glimpsed both his spiritual focus and his "natural man"......

"I'm looking forward to meeting an elect that has been being prepared by God to be baptized on the 2nd of October and help them enter into the path to one day be exalted in the presence of God with their eternal family. Also I'm excited for lunch on Saturday because the family makes really good dessert."

BWHAHAHAHAHA!  It's good to have things to look forward to! :)
