Hey daddy

First of all i want to say thank you. Thank you for the email Thank you for your example Thank you for being my best friend Thank you for being my favorite dad Thank you for your testimony Thank you for loving me Thank you.

Your emails and messages have saved my bacon, thank you daddy.

Nature is very healing, it has definitely helped me a lot to be in a super green mission

Thats funny, little little family. Just wait 8 weeks, I'll sit next to you in church :)))

Thats super hard abt uncle Craig, but i gues at least he's responding! I'm excited to see where he goes from his baptism. He looked super happy in the pictures.

I love Jesus, I was reading in 3 Nefi 17:5-8 and then watched the video and abt cried. Jesus is good, He is so good.

3 nefi 17 5 - With one look He knows what we need 6 - I believe that He was remembering when He felt what they felt in those moments. Bc He knows us perfectly. 7 - He lists a bunch of physical aflicciones and then says "o quienes estén afligido de manera alguna?" [or whoever are afflicted in any manner?] Which in my mind means, "if you've got problems, physical or mental or spiritual or whatever it may be, Come. Please. Let me heal you."

8 - You're not perfect but you've got faith in me. I can see it. And it is enough. YOU are enough.

I think Jesus is so proud of Uncle Criag. So proud of you. So proud of me. Because we're all trying so hard, we've fallen, lots. But He doesn't care. He'll help us up every time. Heal us over and over.

Thank you daddy, I couldn't do it alone, I mean I couldn't do it without you 🙈

Time on the mission is crazy. I feel like I've always been here but that I got here yesterday.

I love our newspaper and skittles, it's better than café rio on any day because its from you.

I love talks

Those are such good thoughts, I've had lots of them

There is a video that is super good that I'm going to send you, you should watch it. It's about why we do the things we do in gospel,

The Music of the Gospel

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/video/inspirational-messages/2017-01-005-the-music-of-the-gospel?lang=eng

And I think one of the biggest blessings from God is being able to hear the music. Knowing that God isn't a cosmic time machine, He's real, He's loving, and He wants to bless us in ways that will help us in the long run.

God. Is. Good.

I love you daddy, thank you for your wisdom, for helping me and loving me.

I love you!!

Have an awesome day at work 🫂💕

Filing notes

Kaitlynn's reply to Jason's July 19 "Sunday" email (2026-07-19_email_sunday), sent the morning of July 20 (her P-day, the day of the three video calls). It answers several threads from his email: his saudade about only Alexa and Mason at church ("little little family… just wait 8 weeks, I'll sit next to you in church"), his news about his brother Craig, his "newspaper and skittles" self-deprecating joke, and his "cosmic vending machine" counsel, which she echoes back as "God isn't a cosmic time machine."

Two connections worth noting: she is the source of the "Music of the Gospel" thread, sending Jason the video the same day she read the passage aloud on the Coyhaique travel call. And her reflection on 3 Nephi 17:5-8 ("YOU are enough") parallels the self-worth counsel Jason had just sent Natalie (2026-07-19_your-worth-does-not-diminish).

Several photos were attached (including one embedded inline); not stored in the vault. Testimony-and-gratitude reply rather than directed counsel, so no counsel note was filed.
