Mothers Day Call

We were able to face time with Stephen. It was so awesome we talked for over 2 hours It was just so good to see him and hear his voice. He spent time talking to each of us. He was so excited to see how big Ellie was getting and how good she is at talking. He love seeing his brothers ..We asked Stephen if he knew anything about coming home what he was wanting to do and those things. He told us he was thinking of trying to extend. He told us in his first area he showed up and baptized someone the other Elders had taught and his second area he left and the other missionaries baptized the person and he really wanted to find someone and teach them from the start to baptism. So proud but sad at the same time. This means more than likely he and Brady will miss each other. Brady turns 19 in Oct and Stephens mission ends in Jan if he extends he will more than likely not see his brother for 4 years.
He was so confident and his comp talked to us for a minute he is from Payson Ut and is a great kid. He is a happy guy who truly loves Stephen. My prayers have been answered.
