The Thomas Herd

As we speak....

Hola Familia,
As we speak....Spud is driving towards Laramie Wyoming---the big sky country! He's doing a solo to get to David's house in Iowa. He's on a grand adventure to spend his summer months working in Washington D.C. in the beautiful state of Maryland. If anyone has time to write him his e-mail is: spud_t@hotmail.com His house address is 6731 Old Water Loo Rd. Elk Ridge Maryland 21075.


Today we also got a call about 5 a.m. and it was Jill calling us from the Salt Lake City Airport. She was in a group of 10 missionary's flying to thier missions today!!!! Yea!!! She was so excited. They left the MTC at 3 a.m. and thier flight left at 6 a.m. They fly to Altlanta and then on t0 New York. I am so excited for her too! She alread is such an awsome missionary, encouraging those around her and picking up on th elanuage so amazingly. This mission seems to fit her like a glove, jult like all the missionaries in our family. I've been amazed when each on ehas recieved thier call---at first we're shocked, amazed then it's yea--that's the place for them. That's where they're needed.


So today my heart strings have been tugged on pretty good saying goodbye to two children traveling far away from home. i expect to get 4 Mother's Day phone calls, plus visit from Pakenna.....I mean Makenna. she is actually here tonight asleep in bed. She and I have a thing going about Patty Cake Patty Cake bakers man.


That's all for the moment. Love ya all!!!
