Mother's Day Call and the Temple, all in One Week!

We talked to Bethany on Mother's Day, via Skype.  Our connection was not wonderful so we didn't take a picture.  But it was great to talk to her, and she is super happy!  She loves describing what it is like to live on a farm--she is in love with the baby calves.  

Then on Monday, May 12 she had a regular day; her P-Day was moved to Tuesday so that they could visit the Boston Temple!  She wrote a letter to me during her trip to Boston last week, and I received it today (Monday, May 19)  Here are some excerpts:

"Dearest Mom,

"I am on my way to the temple right now.  The trees are finally greening up.  I was looking at how vibrant the green leaves are; I would say they are your favorite color--LIME GREEN!  You would love it.

"I just got out of the temple.  We stayed there all day.  It was wonderful; Couldn't ask for a better P-Day.  I can't believe I haven't been here for a year--way too long.  I never want to go this long before going to the temple ever again.  It's so awesome how our 'thing' is going to the temple together.  Most mothers/daughters go shopping, get their nails done, or get facials.  Us?  Nope.  We go to the temple. You only have to go 25 more times without me.

"You know what I kept thinking when I was in the temple?  How much I just don't get or understand the potential within me, and all of us.  I mean if I really understood that, wow.  Think I am going to add that to the million other things I am going to study.

"Well, I feel as if at this point of my mission it is all or nothing.  Naturally I am putting my all in.  That's just how I roll.

"Love you!

"Sister Lassen
