Good day,
Yes, it is true,
Pioneer Day is almost here! I know how long you have waited for this and
how much you love it...the wait is almost over! Surely there must be
something exciting happening in your neck of the woods for the great LDS
day...but what could it be? Maybe a sack race at the ward picnic or one
of those cart races...hard to say, but you will have to keep us informed.
How are things going
for you? I mean really...how are you feeling on the inside?
It has been a crazy
week with the family and Grandpa passing, Mom and I went to the temple on
Thursday, it was great! We saw lots of people we knew from Bay City Ward,
Lake Orion Ward, Harrison Branch, even Elder Holmes and finally met up with Lee
Hardy, he brought me through the vale. We had some quality time together,
it was a truly awesome day! Great week at work too! Went to Clare
to see Dr. Wild on Monday, then had lunch with Alison and Travis, they wanted
to meet at Pondo, we talked for about an hour then she had to go to work.
Yes the week caused me
to do a lot of reminiscing and brought up a lot of old feelings, some good,
some bad, but mostly good. I wish I could give you a great big hug right
now...I love you so much Matt! I am so proud of you and the man you have
become and the work you are doing. In sports we practice hard and when it
is game time we compete even harder, leaving in all on the field or track or
court, we give it our all with no regrets, we have to prove ourself in order to
compete another day...so it is with your life and your mission, you must leave
it all on the field, with no regrets!
Looks like Grandma
& Aunt Kim are coming up on Friday, then we are having a family get
together on Saturday and Sunday at Ernies house...will let you know how it all
goes.
Send more
pictures...Love...Dad
Hola!
We are not doing
anything exciting for pioneer day. They are having a parade, but it is out of
our area and I think our mission. Things are going good. How are you doing with
Grandpa passing away? I love that you can go to the Detroit temple and always
see someone you know. Are Alison and Travis getting serious? Tell Grandma and
Aunt Kim I say hello when you see them. Today I was reading in Philippians 1:14.
First read D&C 82:10 though. If we are obedient on our part then we can be
confident and fearless when proclaiming his gospel.
What is your calling
in your ward and how is it blessing your life? President Riches, the stake
president here, told me to find out.
Thank you for being
you. Thank you for being worthy to hold a temple recommend. I am so proud of
you and the example you set.
Love
Elder Alpin
