This is a wonderful avenue that Dan has put together to help past Arizona missionaries express their love and appreciation to you for the many (and I mean MANY)things that you have done for us.
I remember the first time we met.... Elder Morrill and I had just moved to Mesa earlier that day to start residence at a new apartment. As we pulled our car to the apartment curb that evening, you were walking down the sidewalk toward us. It was your express intent to introduce yourselves, let us know that you were there to help and support us, and then invite us to your home for the first of many shakes (and for me it had to be chocolate!)
That was the beginning of a tie between us that will last forever! The past twenty-six years have had many experiences for each of us. It has been a pleasure and blessing to know you and be included in so many important things in your life.
It has also been an extreme blessing for me to have your love and concern these many years. I'm sure you have offered many prayers in my behalf. Know that the time on your knees has been well spent, and that part of my success and happines today is due to your faith and love in my behalf.
It was wonderful to see you in December even though our visit was brief. But, whenever we get a few moments to see each other, it is always great to feel like we start again from where we last ended. Your warmth and hospitality is an ever constant thing!
Thank you for being an important part of my life. I am blessed to have you as Mom and Dad #2.
