Dear Hermanomano,

We celebrated Nata - with Benjo. It worked. They did spend a lot of time snuggling. I just started to close my eyes so I was safe from the passion.

Bryson is moving back to Logan. We are so sad.

The kids still have a week of school left. We are excited for summer.

Dad and I went to the Poyurs sealing. It was so good. It was awesome to be a part of it.

I hope you had a great time at the temple and in Argentina. That is so cool. It looks like you were having a fantastic time. The Mission has given you so many great experiences.

I love you. I'm proud of you.

Love,

Mom

(Notes appended) Your hearts are not satisfied. These false expectations are getting in the way of you finding joy. Has there ever been a change of plans in your life? This happens all the time when someone else uses their agency in a way different than the Lord would hope they would have. If Heavenly Father cares about a mom's prayer for her fifth grader to find friends then He cares about what my kids are going through now. He will be there. Believe in the outcome more than the obstacle. Stop rebelling against God. Get out of your own way. Let Heavenly Father's work and glory happen. Are our expectations of how the Lord works different? Are they keeping us from Him? My ways are higher than your ways. Isaiah 55:8-9 The war is past. Friends at first and friends at last.
