Transfers. Hello Elder Lonnecker

 Kody’s new companion is Elder Lonnecker from Bountiful Utah. He is a CrossFit Strongman champion, so they have enjoyed working out together. Kody is very sore. Kody says they have found so many people to teach this week. I got to talk to him on Mother’s Day yesterday which made my day, and I am excited to hear more about who they are teaching when he calls today.

Welcome Home Elder Wastlund

 21 hours travel time, but that hug was worth it! I imagine heaven will be the same. Years will become an instant, and then suddenly love and remembrance will fill our hearts and we will feel as though we were never apart. I am so thankful for eternal families! And for this missionary who served with his whole heart. We love you Elder Wastlund, well done!

Release

 Kody was released as a missionary by President Barney just a few hours after arriving home.  Kody said as President Barney released him he could feel the Lord's acceptance of his work and a feeling of love and appreciation. He was given the neatest blessing and told that he could not progress now without an eternal companion by his side.  The next morning he reported his mission to the high council, and I was so proud of him and amazed at how much he had grown in two years.  He spoke with humility and power. We whisked him away to Disneyland on a family trip the next week.  The following Sunday he reported his mission in church, and did an amazing job. I cried mot of the way through.  Our family then sang "If I Were a Shepherd" a Christmas song about being a disciple of Christ. I was so grateful to have all of my family by my side again.  I am excited to see what is in store next for this new man who has been refined by the Lord.
