You were sick?  YOU WERE SICK?  DO YOU HAVE CLEAN WATER? Did you get sick from the water? Dirty water?  Happy Valentine's Day my darling!  Hi my sweet beautiful scrumptious darling wonderful boy. I have thought of nothing but you this week. Do you still have a headache? You need to put that headache in your letter to the president so it's documented.  We want and need and yearn  to know everything.  How are you my son? They are only missing one person now. 116 have lost their lives, 114 from that one building. It is so sad. The developers are in jail. I hope your spirits are comforted through the power of the Holy Ghost. I'm sorry for the difficult things you have seen and experienced.. 
Chandra Peterson Child lived in Taiwan in 1999 during the terrible quake, and she said people were so receptive  afterward their branch doubled. I was talking to Colleen Cowley and she said while crying that maybe this earthquake was one of the reasons you were sent there, so you could be there now. We pray so much for you. I can't tell you how hard it has been to be on the other side of the world from you.  

DO YOU STILL HAVE A HEADACHE? 
Are you exchanging letters with Brady? 
Life at home has been so much about you!

Our Monday night was so fun! We went from Spen's Jr. Jazz game straight to COURTNEY HARRIS'S HOUSE!   Oh my heck. I'm sure you've heard. That little sweetheart! She is trying to be so positive about everything. 2 hours of sunlight   Everyone is so concerned and interested. Please tell us everything you can. I just need to know you're okay in every way. It has been a tender week. 
The kids are so precious. Coy started his new job and played the "oh no" game for an hour and a half. A boy put Coy in his wheelchair,  pushed him into the wall and Coy would bump the wall and say "oh no" and Gary would just laugh and laugh.   He is going to love his new job. There will be a lot of fun stories around the dinner table. 

Chalyce had her baby and I got to go spend a night at the hospital with her. Spen went to sweethearts. Courtney opened her mission call! Estonian language?   Annie made tons of sugar cookies. 

JOSEPH GOT HIS LEARNER'S!  He is so darling. He's doing great.  He is actually a really cautious driver.  I guess you've spooked him good :).  He is so excited! He is getting ready to try out for water polo. He's excited about it. I think that will be great for him. We've been watching matches on the internet, it's basically with water soccer with FIGHTING! YES! YES! YES! I love fighting.  

We had a neat experience this morning. Carol and James Jacobs asked Dad and I to be their temple escorts on Feb. 24th. They have been members their whole lives but have never been sealed in the temple.  It is so exciting. We 've had some inactives come back to church lately. 

Annie four timesded the recipe for sugar cookies last night and we spent today delivering to the neighborhood. Oh, I love the people we get to live among. They are so fun.  

We visited Dorothy and her dogs, John, Chalyce and Aaron who had a new baby this week, a girl, Boltons, the Thomas family in Claire Morse's old house, Spen took roses to Merle when he took her the Sacrament. We took cookies to our home teaching families.  Life is fun.  

Precious boy, we love you and miss you with all of our hearts! 

The Lord owes us nothing! He has already given us everything! He can do what He will with us! Right?

I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!!!

Tell us everything.
