Mothers Day

Yesterday was a great day, we got to talk to my little brother James on his mission in the DR. It was so fun to talk to him and to hear his voice! He has not had any water for 2 weeks, so he has to shower and do dishes with a bucket. His words were "The showering part is easy, doing the dishes is hard." So if you think like me, that sounds a little backwards, but he says that the doing the dishes in a bucket is a lot harder than showering :) He only has electricity sometimes, and he said when he steps into the shower he has to get rid of at least one frog or lizard! I really don't think I would do very well in his shoes! He is a trooper. He sounded so happy and is loving his mission. I am a very proud big sister and of course I cried the whole 4o min we talked to him. He bore his testimony in Spanish, and after only being gone 4 months he sounded like a pro to me. Talking to him was the highlight of my whole week. It is amazing how having a missionary out, really blesses your whole family!
