Subject: Happy 20th!

Holy cow!! No more teenager for you! Happy happy 20th birthday to you my girl!

I swear it was just yesterday that I found out I was going to be a mom and here we are with you turning 20. ☺️I hope you know how truly blessed my life is because I get to be your Mom and I hope you know just how special knowing this makes me feel. I cannot believe I was blessed and lucky enough for you to pick me.

I wonder what you will do today to celebrate the amazing day that is all about you!! I hope you are able to find something sweet and yummy to stick a candle in and as you blow it out you make the best wish ever. I am going to make wishes on all the meals and treats I eat all day long 😂I promise I will make them good for you!

Kaitlyn I love you and I hope you know that even though we are 5,842 miles apart (that’s what the Google Maps say) I am celebrating you and counting blessings beyond measure for having a day all about YOU!! I am grateful for you for giving me the title of Mom and I am grateful for all the things I have been able to watch you do over these last 20 years. I cannot wait to see what is in store for you next.

I love you for forever and for always. To the moon and back! Happy 20th birthday! (Now go open the present you have had for the last freaking month! 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Mom 🤟🏻💕

Mom's Talk: Sunday, July 10, 2022

Good morning Brothers and Sisters. I am excited to be here with you this morning. Not because I up here speaking but because we are here to listen to Kaitlyn report on her mission which means she is actually home! Thank you all for being here and for the support you have shown her throughout her time away. I also want to say hello to Elder Garcia who is hopefully able to have good enough wi-fi to join us today in Africa.  When I posed the question to Kaitlyn who she wanted to have speak with her I knew deep down she wanted Brooklyn but I also knew that Brooklyn had told both missionaries that if either of them asked her to talk she would simply not come to church that day at all and she was fine to miss their homecomings. To be able to pull off a small surprise for Kaitlyn today with having B speak just makes my heart smile Tyler conveniently doesn't do the social media thing so she wasn't an option to ask and Christian is in Africa so that wouldn't be an option either. I s...

Week 1 Email: I have a new Mom

From: Kaitlyn.Garcia@missionary.org Date: Saturday, January 16, 2021 Subject: I have a new mom Oi todos!It's just little old me, Kaitlyn. Well now it's Sister Garcia ;) I'm officially a missionary, which is so crazy to think about! During the online MTC my Pdays are Saturdays so you can expect an update from me every Saturday for the next 6 weeks. The CTM has been amazing so far! :) If I'm being honest I was super nervous to start and I didn't really know what to expect from it, but I'm so glad I've been able to do my training at home. My schedule that I was sent was all in Brazil time and it said that most of my classes were to start at 8:30am. I don't know if any of you know this, but Brazil is 4 hours ahead of Utah, you can do that math, it was supposed to be early! Luckily it's been changed and now my classes don't start until 9:30am Utah time. They like to keep us busy that's for sure! I already have to memorize and learn cer...
