Email from Mom: Sunday, January 2, 2022

Subject: Sunday

I know we talked yesterday but it feels weird to not send an email. :) Plus...I know you heard the Brynlee and Bryson news so .... YAY!!!  I am so happy for them and shocked all at the same time. Did she include her two photos that she shared with me? (I can send them to you if you didn't get them). I wonder if she told you how it all played out because I didn't get that part and I would love to hear. She did promise that they would stop by sometime soon so I can see her ring and so we can just celebrate with them both. So crazy that this is the stage of life right? I gave her the dates of Lake Powell and told her we would love for the both of them to join us if it works. She promised she would talk to Bryson and get back to me.

Church at 9 was so good. I was so tired but it was so good to get up and not have to linger around the house all day. We didn't stay for Sunday School. Mostly because Brooklyn was the sniffly snotty nosed kid who was so loud during Sacrament that I needed to get her home to get a freaking DayQuil in her. :/ I think her poor body is tired and ready to get back into routine this week again with school and what not as much as I am!

It is SUPER freaking cold here today. When we woke up for church just after 7 it was only 9 degrees. I am currently sitting at a warm and sunny 23 degrees. I miss Summer and 100 degree days SO MUCH! This week stays cold early on and then by the end it should be in the low 40's which at this rate sounds like pure heaven!

I am excited to hear what you decide to do tomorrow on your pday since you are for the most part all caught up on the tasks that would normally capitalize that day for you. I am also hopeful today at church was good and you had a friend or two there? Your countdown today says you have 184 days until you are home, B has 94 days left of school, and yes I am counting down on both of those! :) I hope you know your worth and know just how proud I am of all you are doing and all you are learning and working through each day. I honestly ask myself daily how in the world I got so dang lucky to be chosen as your Mom. Thank you for trusting me and for allowing me to carry this great call/title. I love you more than you will ever know.

For forever and for always, to the moon and back,
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...
