We are BYU fans!: A VERY happy Mother's Day!!!

This Mother's Day was the BEST yet and it has nothing to do with the new camera I got... it was the BEST Mother's Day ever because we got to talk to our missionary, Elder Hodges. For those of you who have or had a missionary... I know you can relate... all of the rest of you will think I am crazy until you have a missionary out. It's amazing how just the sound of their voice makes you cry. David called us briefly on Saturday to give us the number we were suppose to call and the time for us to call on Sunday. Well, the caller ID said some city in Massachusetts (because of his calling card) so I figured it was a telemarketer but I answered the phone anyway. And then I heard, "Hello" and I said, "David?!!" A mother can never forget the voice of their child. Just that brief phone call made my Saturday brighter! So, you can imagine how Sunday felt. We talked to him for a total of 3 hours but not all at the same time. His companion and David were taking turns using the phone but it worked out great and we savored every second of it! We are VERY thankful for his mission president, President Matern. That he doesn't put a 30 minute limit on calls home like some mission presidents do. It regenerated me and I know now I can make it for 10 1/2 more months until he gets home! I just hope I can make it through 4 more missions with Kyle, Tanner, Brett, and Luke! I'll tell you I hope all of the others go on stateside missions! It's such a pain worrying about calling cards/time difference... then the other thing is mailing packages would be much simpler if they were in the US. Anyway... it was a great day! I did get breakfast in bed and chocolate covered strawberries too but the phone call was the best!!!
