Dear Herman,
Brother Dolberg passed away on Thursday. Dad was able to go to the hospital with Brother Iverson and give him a blessing. It was a sweet experience for dad. Bonnie is a strong woman. We will miss Glen.
Grandma and Grandpa came up and spent the night. We had a lot of fun with them. Grandma told Benjo she loved him and said he should marry Nata. Grandpa told him that he forgot to pray for his food. We had him say the prayer after that. Bryson pointed out that Benjo does really well with our family. Thinking about it, it is really impressive how he just handles us.
Alexa had her choir concert and did fantastic. She has continued to gain more and more confidence this year.
Speaking Alexa she has taken her relationship to the next step with Emerson. You will have to ask her for the details. I made her tell the whole family while we were in the garage all about it. "If you can't tell your whole family, you shouldn't be doing it."
We watched Danika's graduation. She was the salutatorian and gave a speech.
Bryson went to Brooklyn's missionary farewell this morning. He should wait for her.
I love you! I'm proud of you.
Love,
Mom
(Notes appended) "In my own life, my parents have told me that I shouldn't do anything that I don't want the whole family to know about. This has helped me think about my actions and make sure that there are things that I'm OK with telling my family about. As I've tried to be honest about what I'm doing and not hide things, I've been able to have the spirit stronger in my life." (The testimony I wrote for Alexa to share at the end of the YW lesson she was teaching.) Knowing my why. Remember how merciful the Lord has been. Ask with a sincere heart. He will bless you with what you need. When you are searching for God in your life you will find Him at church. Ask them to share a favorite memory about their deceased loved one. Cheerfully serving others for the Savior isn't just a duty - it's a joy that reflects His love in every act of kindness. In what ways can we "help" the Savior as we would a friend? When you serve in the temple pray for the person you are serving that they will accept it. "As you bind up the wounds of those in need, the Lord's power will sustain you... Every covenant servant of Jesus Christ will receive His direction from the Spirit as they bless and serve others for Him. Then they will feel the Savior's love and find joy in being drawn closer to Him." -President Eyring

Dear hermamawhotaughtmetoflirt I saw the post from Bonnie and felt sad. Glen will be a happy veggie in heaven. Benjo should marry grandma, i think that Natalie and benjo are getting married, do you? You are the best mom, i laughed when I read what you told Alexa. I love you mama. Alexa is all grown up now. Bryson should wait for her, she is cute and looks nice. I love you. You taught me to flirt too good and now i flirt too much with the elders. Naughty mama.

What can I say? My flirting powers are too powerful to not share with my girls. Yes she will marry him. But if she doesn't this is order of who can marry him instead: You, Alexa, Me, Aunt Kathi, Danika, Grandma, Bonnie. Have you replaced Cobb? 🥺 I have been learning to like his last name. I love you!
