First of all, I know that they say when you serve a mission, your families will be blessed, but this is above and beyond!!! Richard went to the mailbox the other day and lo and behold there was a package for us from an unknown address. He brings it home and I open it! Imagine my surprise when this is what we found………
WAIT FOR IT………………………………………………
TWO BRAND NEW I-PADS!!!!!!!HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!
ONE FOR RICHARD AND ONE FOR ME. OUR NAMES WERE EVEN STAMPED ON THE I-PAD AND THE COVERS AS WELL.
Am I in heaven or what? I have been “complaining” because everyone and their dog here has an I-Pad. They use them in church for scriptures, hymns, talks, manuals, they are amazing. I have kind of made it a joke, but someone has taken me seriously! We have no idea whatsoever, who or whom, might have sent us these amazing gifts. By the way, they are the top of the line with 65 something.
Shipped from California. Who do we know there? No one. Was it our children? No, I am pretty sure. Was it my folks? No, I am pretty sure. Was it someone here in Nauvoo? We have no idea, if it was they are remaining anonymous. It is frustrating for me on some level because I am one who prefers not to be indebted to anyone. (bad trait I know) How can I ever repay someone for this above and beyond kindness? I don’t know, all I do know is that I pray for them every day and that their generosity and selflessness is seen by our Father in Heaven and rewarded generously. So if you are reading this blog and you have given us this gracious gift, I thank you with all of my heart. I want to be like you………………………………………………….
BLESSINGS FOR SERVING A MISSION! ABSOLUTELY!
