Words to Live by Alec - MAJOR PAYDAY

I just have to share!!!

May 23, 2010
Dear Br. & Sis. Matthews,
Today your son is transferring away from Powell. I didn't want to miss the opportunity to report to you what an excellent missionary he has been in this area.
From the first time we met him he has been helpful, courteous and pleasant, diligent and faithful. He reaches out to my sons who are of mission age but resisting that commitment...in a loving and non-judgemental way. This means a lot to me.
You can be very proud/grateful and confident your son is serving the Lord in a true and faithful manner-such a blessing to him and to you as a family, I am sure.
Thank you for your efforts in raising such a sensitive young man.
Sincerely,
Joan (& Steve) Christiansen

It so nice when others figure out what you already know! He is nothing short of amazing!!!

Miracles still happen!!!!

What a wonderful note! Notes like that are a parent's dream aren't they? You are right, it's pay day! That's how I feel when old students write me letters or I hear their parents say nice things to me, which you always do, so thank you for my pay day as well!

alec is such a sweetheart and it's funny because I feel the same way that his mission leaders do! From the moment I met him he as courteous and helpful and nice and gentle. Alec is turning into quite a man! I can't believe I just wrote Alec and Man in the same sentence. ha! I am getting old too!

Thank you so much for the comment Ann, you made my day.
