So much Beauty

Can you believe Teesh has 5 weeks under her belt? Only 73 to go!!!!!!!!! I am not sure is that is motivational or not to count down that way. Holy Moly 73 weeks is still so far away.

The sister in the patterned black shirt, hiccups every 20 minutes or more. Teesh said it cracks everyone up. I love that Teesh is surrounded by humor

I have been blessed to have a friend that entered the MTC as a senior couple, which means she has different rules than the young sisters, which means, she hugs Teesh daily(or at least when she sees her) and takes pictures for me. Oh how this warms my heart. Look at that smile? Does it not scream perfection? My friend said, Teesh is thriving and full of the spirit. She said she always has a smile on her face and is absolutely happy. Nothing means more than those words, OK maybe the email I receive weekly means as much;) I am so so happy to know that Teesh is happy.

 Teesh's companion is Sister Gibbs. She is from Colorado. She is on the left hand side of Teesh. Teesh said that her companion is great. That she helps Teesh to not get turned around in the MTC. Apparently the buildings all look alike. Thanks for the added direction Sister Gibbs, hugs!

Then another evening I received a text from an unknown number with this beauty attached. Happiness!!! It was from a recently returned missionary that served in the Olongapo mission and was performing service in the MTC. She acted like an investigator and Teesh and the other sisters taught her. She sent me this photo with an attachment that read,

"Your daughter is doing amazing" Yet again, another tender mercy. Thank you Thank you.

Teesh and Sister Kay Cherrington(my ward member) Her and her husband leave Monday, the 2nd to London England Mission. She will be serving with the YSA over there. Kay is the kind of lady that I hope to be some day. She is amazing on every level. Thanks so much Sister Cherrington for the photos and drop off packages. What an amazing blessing you have been in my life.

Can you see my Teesh LaReesh in all these gorgeous heads? These are a few sisters all serving in Philippines but not all the same mission. Such an amazing group of ladies that Teesh has grown to love with all her heart.

Sister Blake(the one taking the photo) has come down with a heart palpitation. She might not be able to fly out on the 5th with the rest of the group. Teesh and others are fasting for her to heal quickly.

These photo do my heart so much good. I really did not anticipate having a missionary would be so hard. Boy was  I ever wrong. Don't get me wrong. I want Teesh to serve, it just has been hard to not talk and see her daily. God Speed Sister and Elders. The Lord's work is waiting. Go Get 'Em
