My sweet wonderful niece wont be able to read my birthday wishes for her-she being in Argentina and all!! But we love her and pray for her and find joy in her joys as she pounds on doors and escapes the dog packs, and endures without electricity in the cold climes of Mendoza. Her faith is great, her spirit is strong, and we are all so proud of her!!! It sounds like she is determined to enjoy each and every adventure that her Heavenly Father places before her: ie, making lemonade from some pretty potent lemons!! We send her parents and family good wishes as well. I know that I miss my missionaries MORE on their birthdays than I have at Christmas or Mothers Day, or any other time! The desire to pick up the phone and say hello is almost irresistible and most difficult!!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE!!!

Once again...thank you Cindy for the special birthday rememberance. You're right. Birthdays are hard for missionary moms because you start remembering the day baby came home from the hospital and other tender moments in their lives. I copied and pasted your message into this weeks email to Stephanie. It will mean a lot to her as it comes from a very favorite aunt. Thanks again!
