Elder CJones: The Marvelous Blessing of a Mother

"God’s greatest reward goes to those who serve without expectation of reward."
-President Dieter F Uchtdorf

Cuidado con Huracán Harvey!


This week a hurricane passed over the side of our state on its way to Texas. First off, pray for the people and families in Houston!  They are going through a lot. We hear a lot about them and they need our prayers. Please keep them in your prayers!

We didn't get hit by the hurricane but we did get a lot of rain and lightning. The lightning is really cool here and really loud. And after it rains, it gets really humid and hot. During the rain it is wonderful, but after it is really bad.

One of the things that we teach the the people here is that Heavenly Father knows each one of us personally because He is our All-loving Father.

This week, I received a package from my wonderful mother. What was inside was probably the best thing that I have received while here on the mission.


One of the things that mothers have is this blessing is of knowing what their children love. I got a book of the first 25 conference talks by President Uchtdorf. I think my mom just wants my companions to see me cry ;).

I am so grateful for my mom! I love her to death.

This week, even though it my not be her birthday or Mother's Day, you all should look for a way to show your love to your mother.

"May each of us remember this truth; 'one cannot forget mother and remember God. One cannot remember mother and forget God.' Why? Because these two sacred persons, God and mother, partners in creation, in love, in sacrifice, in service, are as one." -President Monson
