Ward Member Email!!

Guess what?  This missionary is full of surprises. First we get no mail.  Then we get double mail. Then we get no mail again. Then we get email on a changed P-day. Then he calls for 2 minutes. Then he calls back and talks for an hour.

THEN. Then tonight we get an email from the family that is hosting him.  With a picture!! We weren't expecting to hear anything until Monday!! 

Ready? Go:

Hello Rice Family!

We are SO excited to have your wonderful son serving in our ward! He has been assigned to the W. III Ward in X. (There are a total of four wards here.) He has a fantastic trainer, Elder H, and they are working very well together. Once again, I see the Lord’s hand in the missionary work because they are a great team and He surely inspired this companionship!
I’m so sorry I didn’t get a picture to you earlier but these boys have honestly been working so hard this week that I haven’t even had a chance to get a picture. I feel certain that our fabulous mission president and / or his wife sent you a picture earlier in the week but more pictures rarely hurt anything. :) We are privileged to have the missionaries live in an apartment in our backyard and know they are truly dedicated.
Please feel free to contact us if there is anything we can do to help. I know that Elder Rice has had a wonderful and exciting week and will have lots to share in his email Monday. I appreciate all you have done to raise such a wonderful young man. He has already blessed lives and will continue to change eternities. Thanks for sharing him with us!

All my love,
Sister M
