Dear Hermanaimissyou,

We loved the letters! Sister Bird is such a cutie!

Alexa worked at the elementary on Friday. It made her tired. She was locked out. How did you get in on Fridays?

Alexa looks so cute with her braces off. She can't stop smiling. She had a friend swimming/french fry/movie party at our house on Friday. Look at her all confident.

Mason said the opening prayer in Stake Conference. President Haynie asked him to. He did awesome.

I talked to the Joyce's. They love and miss you. They love your good attitude and how you radiate happiness.

Bonnie and I went on a walk on Wednesday. She was cute. She just wanted to talk and to have someone to share her life with.

Bryson starts school tomorrow. He is really excited. I'm glad that he is in a good place.

Dad and Brother Iverson went on another shirtless man hike. They love each other.

I love you. I'm proud of you.

Love,

Mom

(Appended notes) Heavenly Father will meet us where we are at. Our faith will grow as we move forward in faith. I put on my shoes and go. God can move mountains but He often hands us a shovel. My heart had to break for the Spirit to fully get in it. God is in everything we do. Trust Him. Elder Dale G. Renlund: "[His] goal in parenting is not to have His children do what is right; it is to have His children choose to do what is right and ultimately become like Him." Elder Pieper: "...the best way to learn to trust in God was simply by trusting Him. In the subsequent weeks, I watched with amazement as the Lord miraculously unfolded His plan to bless our family." God cannot create out of nothing. We go out and do our best then God will make it great. 1 Nephi 16:29 - how do we know that God has faith in us? God did not send us here to fail. No matter how far away we feel it is never too late to finish hot. Turn back, get to work and become the person you were meant to be. 3 Nephi 9:13-15. Feed my sheep. Come and I will show you how. 2 Nephi 31:3. He sent me you and He heals me every day.
