I thought it would be nice if on occasion I shared with you some of the letters I write to my son. he is serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These young men leave between the age of 19-26 and serve for two years. They are only allowed to call home twice a year– on Mother’s Day and Christmas, and are allowed to write home once a week. At a time when most young men are “trying to find themselves,” our sons are out sacrificing and serving and truly becoming Men. They return home with experience, wisdom, gratitude, humility, and as “giant’s in our eyes.
I write to my son once a week and often in those letters, I share scriptures I have read or great talks I have heard. I thought I would share some of these thoughts, letters and insights with you. If I have a post that was written to him, I will preface it with “Letter to my son.” These really are for all my kids, he just happens to be the one I get to write to on a regular basis.
This particular son I admire so much. He has overcome great adversity just to be serving this mission. He has also been blessed with the gift of a beautiful voice, so you’ll see me share a bit about that on here as well.
I hope you’ll enjoy these letters. I may include some of his insights as he has some great ones, too that he shares with me.
