Today was Mother's Day. It was a good day for me, because I received a 100,000 grand candy bar from the ward and 10 supersonic car washes from Brian. (and a new printer, but I think that was more for the whole family) We also were able to talk to Cameron from Texas. He called at 4 pm our time. He sounded so good and was so happy to be serving a mission. He is so obedient about all the rules and wants to do his best. We talked to him for 40 mintues. We had him on the speaker phone, so we all could hear him and talk to him at the same time. We recorded some of the conversation to share with his grandparents. We went to the Brown's for dinner and then to the Evans for dessert. Erika decided after church to make these homemade cards for her grandma's. She spent alot of time on then, cutting out the individual pieces and glueing them on the paper. She can be so crafty and creative, but also a perfectionist too. We gave both grandma's T-shirts with all the grandkids names on them, which they both needed updated. It was good to spend time with them and the rest of the family. We also were able to talk to Cameron at 4 pm our time for 40 minutes again. We bought a new phone that had a speaker on it so we all could hear him and talk to him together. We asked him many questions and he also asked some of us. He sounded so good and happy to be serving a mission in Texas. We can't believe that he has been out for over 7 months now. Time has really flown by. We tried to record our conversation a little bit for his Grandparents to listen to, but it wasn't the best recording. I will figure something out for next time though. What a great mother's day gift.Sunday, May 9, 2010
