Happy Mother's Day!

Dear Family,

May 10th is the day they celebrate mothers' day in Mexico. So its mothers day again!!!

It was fun to talk to you all and to hear your voices. I guess we talked about a lot yesterday but there was one thing I wanted to run by ya'll. I think that maybe the week I get back we should run down to the temple in LA and go do baptisms as a big family!! It'd be fun and we could eat In-n-out afterwards. It'd be cool because now everyone is old enough to go do baptisms.

Thats crazy Jeff will get back sooner. I figured something like that would happen though, so he can get right back into school. It'll be fun to see him again and hear his australian accent.

I'm going to start writing out all the mexican 'dichos' (sayings) that I've learned. Its fun to learn them and to learn all the mexican league soccer teams and mexican states. Its an easy way to build trust with people and show them we really care and respect their culture. Someday I really want to go to Mexico to visit. I'd like to go to the southern parts like Cancun or Acapulco or Veracruz. There are supposed to be some beautiful beaches there.

Its amazing the appreciation I've gained for the simple truths of the gospel. I love finding new scriptures that teach principles I already know. It strengthens my testimony when I can find scriptures in the Bible and Book of Mormon that teach truths. My spanish scriptures are near and dear to my heart. I know the Gospel is true and that Christ's church was restored some 180 years ago. We are greatly blessed to be members of the only ture and living church of God on the face of the earth.

Love,
Elder Wagner
