Can you believe it?A week ago today I got to talk to missionary JACK! Oh Happy DaY!
This year for mother's day- most missionaries out of the country got to SKYPE HOME! Talk about excited! It was fantastic to actually SEE missionary Jack.
He looked so good & so happy. He absolutely radiated. He's tan- he's skinny- he has a bit of an accent- it was wonderful to talk to him & see him. He was smiling more than I have ever seen him. Megan said it perfectly - he looked different because "he was looking up, and smiling & had confidence." If you follow this blog- you would know he used to avoid- or look down for pictures- he has gained so much confidence. He knows he is a servant of the Lord & what is better than that?!Besides the wonderful phone call-
it wasn't my best mother's day... just keeping it real. I had to work, then came home to none of the chores I asked to be done- done... and a house full of company. I was ticked off. I am still bitter... so in other words I am a small person. Again, just keeping it real.
Monday afternoon it got better~ I took the girls & my sister in laws to get pedicures!It was POURING DOWN RAIN & we nearly killed ourselves getting back to the car in disposable flip flops. But it was so fun.
Can you believe- none of these guys had ever had one before?
It was a perfect way to start off the wedding week.
Talking to Jack was so great!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous I missed out on pedicures!
Hooray!! I asked my neighbor today about her call from France and she was excited to be able to Skype as well!
ReplyDeleteI love that Jack doesn't look down anymore, that he smiles and is confident. I hope that happens to Max, too!!
Mother's Day seems to have so much potential for making us feel small and bitter, doesn't it? A group pedicure was a very good idea.
Happy Mothers Day!!
ReplyDeleteyeah for skype that is great! and although I had a really good mother's day this year, there have been a couple in the past that left me feeling bitter too.
