To Mom on Wednesday,

Mom,
I was thinking today about how when you travel your favorite and most exciting adventure is going to church in your vacation destination. This photo was taken of you and dad outside the Johannesburg temple. It was all you wanted to do, besides be with your grandkids, to worship in the Lord's house on that continent.

I love that about you. I love it that your faith is strong and vibrant, and that it still touches your heart to see this mighty church working in different cultures and under different circumstances than those which you have grown up in. Not that the church itself is different. One thing I think you love is that the gospel is the same. And because it is a universal church, a true and living church, it crosses cultures and changes lives in all parts of the world.

I love it that you know this, and that you still love to witness it all, no matter where you are...

just wanted you to know.
love,
Me
