Gift from the mission field!

I'm going to attempt to play catch up over the next several days.  But I'll probably be working backwards and jumping around.  Hope I can keep up and keep it all straight!  LOL

I was out in the yard last week, doing one of my least favorite chores, weeding the flower beds, when I got a phone call.  It was a Bro Tolman from Estacada!?  He said he works with Elder Forsyth in Estacada and he was passing through Bountiful and had a box from my missionary to drop off!!

They visited from the car for a little bit, apparently he is one of the ward missionaries in the ward and according to Ben, is super duper helpful to the missionaries.  Both had nothing but good things to say about each other and went on and on about how highly they thought of each other.  Kind of fun!

What was in the box, you ask???

Not a whole lot, a picture of Elder Ben, and a bag of mini Reese's for the kids.  One of them asked him for some as a joke in one of their letters.  And best of all an apron for me!!...

Look what it says!  The kids were making fun of me for being so excited about an apron!  I don't care!  I thought it was waaayyyy Cool!!!



Another Elder Forsyth!

We now have 3 Elder Forsyth's out in the world!  We feel very privileged to be able to see and host our families coming to drop off their missionaries!

Our nephew Elder Alex Forsyth left for the Brazil MTC last month and is busy learning the language and how to teach the gospel in Brazil!   He says he's doing very well and excited to be there!

Another nephew Elder Michael Forsyth went into the Provo MTC this last wednesday!  He's headed to Hungary, Budapest Mission!  He'll be in Provo for about 3 months learning Hungarian.  So about the time Ben reaches his "hump" day, we'll have 3 Elder Forsyths in the world!!!

Here's a couple of pics of his send off from our house!

 Saying Goodbye!!
