We got a really nice message on our answering machine about how much the Mendoza family loves Elder Owens. They think he looks just like their son who is also on a mission. He does seem to fit in. Do you think, where missionaries serve, is inspired?
This guy actually served in Lenny's mission. Jordan now believes that Lenny knows everyone.
This is an excerp from Jordans letter today. I can't tell you how happy this makes me. I am on cloud nine.
"It seems like just last week i was packing my bags up in my room and making the decission to go on a mission. I am so glad i pulled through. Things have just worked out for me. Feelings of inadaquacy were present; now they are turning into skills and talents. One of my favorite scriptures is proverbs 3:5-6 "trust in the lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understandings, in all ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths". I have tried to stick to that through my mission."

What a great payoff as parents to hear your son say something like that! Jordan is awesome!
What an incredible post! Just some great rewards for all of your amazing parenting!
I think it's great. Only four months left? Wow. I'm very happy for Jordan and I hope the rest of his mission goes very well
On an unrelated note, we had some apple pie tonight that was pretty tasty, and I was remembering when we visited once and had the absolute best apple pie I've ever had. You always fed us so well in addition to making us feel so welcome. Thanks for being so loving to us.
Wow he is an amazing missionary. 4 months should go by pretty quickly!
