My Birthday Love Letter



Dear Mom,

Happy Birthday! I hope this makes it there in time ;-) I couldn't find anything here that I thought would be birthday worthy. So instead I took a picture of me in front of the emblem of Tupa. The area was founded by different Indian tribes, represented by the different colored feathers. Hence their Indian mascot.

I love you Mom! And I feel very literally, eternally blessed to have you as my Mom forever and ever. Because of yours and Dad's examples of service, dedication to the gospel and diligence in keeping the commandments, I can serve the people here much better. I can bless lives because you blessed mine. "Yea and they did obey and observe to perform every word of command with exactness; yea and even according to their faith it was done unto them; and I did remember the words that their mothers had taught them" (Alma 57:21). Thank you for raising me as a stripling warrior. I love you, love you, love you Mom and miss you a lot!

Love, Your Son,

Tanner
