From Dad 6/16 part II

Good morning everyone,

Writing is not one of my better points. Mom has a great gift of expression and is a very people oriented person for which we are richly blessed in this mission. Too often I can get lost in doing “things” and not find the time to be doing the things that really make the difference in people’s lives like spending time with them. Mom is so good to keep us focused on what is important – people. I don’t know if any of you have a similar challenge, but if you do and your other half is blessed with this same love and care for others let them lead out. Early on in our mission I appointed mom to function as the senior companion. Her intuition about what we need to be doing was to have enough influence to over-ride any “projects” I was working on at the time. This has served us well or at least has improved the amount of time we spend with people V.S. the amount of time spent preparing to meet with people. There will always be room for improvement but hopefully we are moving more each day in the right direction.

Thanks for your letters. They always warm our hearts.

Love always,

Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Willard and Dona
