We had a wonderful phone conversation with Will on Mother's Day. It was so good to hear his voice. He is working very hard and loving every minute. You can just hear the happiness and exuberance, not only in his voice but in his expressions. He's always been a happy kid but I think that the experiences he is having on his mission surpass anything he has ever done before.
He wrote me a special Mother's Day letter and actually sent it off several weeks ago - boy is he getting organized. I got it the day before Mother's Day when we got back. Anyway, it was one of the best letters I have ever received. I couldn't hold back the tears - he is a wonderful son. We are so grateful to have the privilege of having a missionary. The blessings received and the lessons learned are beyond anything I could imagine. If there is anyone thinking of going on a mission - DO IT. You will be eternally grateful that you did.

Hello family and happy mother’s day!
I don’t have a ton to say that I didn’t say on the phone yesterday but it was great to talk to the family and hear that all is going well.
They assigned me a new Companion from the mission. His name is Elder Mullisaca. He is from Peru and he doesn’t know his genealogy but there has to be some Japanese with that name. He was a member for 1 year before his mission and his entire family are 7th day Adventist so I have a lot of respect for him. We are going to be working very hard in these coming weeks to do everything we can to help our investigators so I am very excited about that.
Well I think I said about everything yesterday but I wanted to wish a happy mother’s day to mom, Angie, Amy, Grandma and everyone else and thanks for all the support and prayers.
Until Next week, love, Elder Barnard
