Mother's Day

Mother's Day morning was spent at church.  Neal and I went to all our meetings and then home to change and gather food to take out to Annie's for dinner.  Mallory was calling home at 6:30 and Neal and I were invited by Mallory to be there so she could talk to us along with her family.  We had a delicious dinner and we all anxiously awaited the ringing of the phone.  It was so exciting to be able to skype with Mallory and see and experience her happy countenance.  She kept saying how much she loved Tennessee and being a missionary.  She was happy and animated the whole time she was on the phone with us.

It was pouring down rain while Annie was cooking the steaks.

I had to take a picture of everyone gathered around the TV as we all got to talk to Mallory and ask her questions and laugh and shed happy tears.

 Doesn't she look like a very happy missionary.  Mallory, we are so proud of you and your service to your Father in Heaven in spreading his gospel of truth to the people in Tennessee.  We pray for you daily.

 We were able to talk with Mallory for 40 minutes and then she had to go.  We sure miss you, but so happy that you are happy and well.
