Watched Over

Sorry it's been so many weeks since a post. Hopefully a good update will be coming soon.

Something happened this last week that made me so grateful for good people. My little brother Garrett is serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in North Carolina. For anyone in the area who might be interested, he's still in his first area, Shelby.

Now for the story. Due to some changes in the email system, there have been some bugs and we found out a couple of days ago that Garrett hasn't been getting any of our emails for the last 3 weeks. For missionaries, getting mail is pretty important so this was a big bummer for him.

On Tuesday, the wife of the stake president where Garrett is serving contacted my mom to let her know what was happening and to see about helping Garrett get some mail. My mom resent old emails to the stake president's wife and some of us wrote additional ones. On Wednesday she emailed my mom a really nice email to let her know that she printed off all the emails that morning and took them over to Garrett so he could read them during lunch. It sounded like this caused Garrett's face to light up and really made his day. She went on to talk about what a good missionary he is and that her son will be going teaching with the missionaries relatively often so they'll get to know each other well. She also said that she'll let us know if he has further problems getting our emails so he doesn't have to go so long without hearing from family. I'm so grateful to know that someone is watching out for my brother while he's so far away. So here's a shout out to good people!
