I spent most of the day eagerly waiting to talk to Elder Moon, serving in the Orlando Florida mission. I was not disappointed when, at 3:47 pm our phone rang. I will need to apologize to the Relief Society president and another member of our ward that called and got my obviously annoyed response before 3:47 pm.
He sounded so good! For the next hour plus we grilled him on every aspect of his life. He is working hard, eating good, falling to bed exhausted every night, getting hot in the Florida steamy weather, serving and all around loving his life right now. I am now refreshed better than any spa day could do for me. I know my son is happy and healthy. I know he is learning and growing and his testimony of the gospel is expanding daily. For me, as his mom, that's all I need or want.

woo hoo! what a great blessing today for you & your family. =) we adored those calls when my brother was out in the mission field. i can only imagine from a mother's perspective though. great talk, btw.
enjoy the rest of your week, walking on air!
I really loved your talk today. It really inspired me to do better as a mom in hopes that my boys will serve a mission. I'm glad you didn't have to wait too long before he called. He sounds like he is having the best time:)
Yay! That is so exciting! The pictures make me feel the moment!
