It is just in your responses that I am reading that you want this mission to be on your terms. And that is fine. I am good with respecting that and hope that you truly believe that as far as expectations are concerned...it isn't that I have any. I never expected you to serve a mission. This has been your choice from day 1. I would hope that you live up to the expectations you have for yourself as well as those that you know your Heavenly Father has of you.

I am sorry to hear that Elder Teko has been moved. I am sure that has been an adjustment. And I am sure you had some shuffling to do at the apartment again to go back to a two companionship instead of a three. I know Elder Meline is happy to be with you. His mom is great about letting me know how he is progressing and how much he enjoys being in a companionship with you.

I am and always will be available for a call or email or whatever it is you need from me. I love you Christian. I wish words and actions would adequately express just how deep that love is. You are one of my most 3 prized choices in life and 1 of my greatest blessings the Lord has given me. I'm grateful for you always. I love and miss you but know the Lord needs you to be in Africa right now for you and for those you are serving. I hope you have had a great Sunday.

I love you,

Mom
