BEST MOTHERS DAY EVER 5/8/11

For Mother's Day, we got to skype with Elder Gage! He drove to my mom & dad's house (which is only 5 min away!) and skyped with us from there! He looked so good! He sounded to happy! He loves being a missionary! We are so proud!

Elder Gage finally pictures!!! 4/22/11

YAY!!! We finally got some great pictures from Brent (These are some of his MTC pictures, I will add others later)! He looks great! His emails are so happy and uplifting! He says he loves being a missionary! WE ARE SO PROUD OF HIM!!!

Last Sunday, April 24, 2011, was an AWESOME Easter Sunday! I got double the pictures of Brent! First, Darren & Sarah & girls were in Tenn visiting and just happened to go to church in Brent's ward...I wonder how that happened?!? Brent passed the sacrament to their family and took some great pictures with him afterwards. Darren said his girls wouldn't stop hugging and kissing on him! Brent loved it! He said in his email, "seeing them really cheered me up"!

Then my sweet friend Beth, had Brent and his comp over for dinner! And she sent me pictures of him at dinner! Then she texted me later and said Brent and his comp gave the most spiritual message! That just warmed my heart!

Valentines Package for Elder Gage 2/23/11

Thanks to my BFF Beth, Brent got a Valentines package delivered right to his door! She was out here and asked if she could take anything to Brent. I didn't have his address in time to send a Valentines package, so I sent one with her. I made homemade cookies with Valentine M&Ms. I also sent someother valentine treats. But he got them the day after I made them thanks to Beth!

And she sent me a picture of him when her and her kids, Brierra, Blaise & Lexie, delivered them to him!
