Hi Mom!!

 The temple was amazing!!! I loved it so much!! The temple is about 30 minutes away from us. I was going to send pictures but we don't have a long time to write. As for Mother's Day. I was thinking we could skype around 7:00pm(my time) which would be 5:00pm your time. I hope that works for you. We are skyping from Sister Allen's house. If you have any questions about it you can give her a call at 801-781-0131. What username do I need to call? I'm excited to talk to you on Sunday. I was hoping to get you something sent off for Mother's Day but I wasn't able to get anything...sorry! Thanks for your letter! Thanks for getting me signed up for classes. It's official I'm coming home July 2. President Stoker has already made the changes. 

  This week has been awesome! I wish I could tell you all about it but I am don't have a lot of time. I loved being able to go to the temple. It was so peaceful! I just love the symbolism that is in the temple! Everything has a purpose and a meaning. Life seems so simple after being in the temple!! It was a wonderful experience. Sister Allen took us down there and the Aldrichs came too. The Aldrichs just got back from their mission in Fresno California. Sister Tarawhiti and I were the only ones that went. Sister Fratcher had already been so she stayed with another companionship of sisters while we went. The Spirit in the temple is amazing!! The Spirit there is so special. I have missed the temple and it was so nice to be able to go. I love you!!! I'm excited to talk to you on Sunday!

  Love,

    Sister Griffin

Hi, Missy Callee, 

 

How was the temple?  How far is the Boston Temple from where you are?  Do you have to make appointments for that temple?

 

I am really excited about getting your e-mail tomorrow.  Remember to tell us about Mother's Day and your school stuff.

 

How are you doing?  Have you had a good week?  Did all three of you go to the temple?  

 

I am going to send a hand written letter, but it won't come until Saturday.

 

I had Family Home Evening last night.  It was good.  Today was game day.  It was fun, too.

 

Liz had a good time at the Prom on Saturday.

 

Sunday I went to Calvin's for dinner.  Mary had honey lime enchiladas.  Brayden and I played Yahtzee afterwards.  Then I had a little nap.

 

My birthday was good.  Lauren and Mary each made a cake and everyone came over for ice cream and cake.  Sam helped me blow out my candles.  Tricia gave me a small crockpot (at my request; Lauren and Eric gave me a book (Women and the Priesthood)' Mary gave me money' and Diane gave me the orgreenic fry pan' and Matt and Natausha gave me a cute card.  I appreciated your card, Missy.  Thank you so much for sending it along with the sweet note.

 

Ammon had a band concert tonight.  Shawn has one on Thursday.

 

Well, I'll close for now.  Take care.  I love you so much and miss you, too.
