ELDER HOUGHTON

Happy Birthday Brother! I can't believe it has been 2 years! JT's birthday is tomorrow Aug. 30 and he comes home Sept 10! We are SO excited! What an amazing example he has been to me and to our family as he has severed our Heavenly Father for the past 2 years! I know his testimony and love for our Savior has grown so much and I know that who ever has read his letters each week for the past 2 years has been blessed and strengthened through him! Every time I think of seeing him in less then 2 weeks or read his letters I cry! I love him SO much and am so thankful for him in my life and am SO excited to see him! Love ya Bro!!!

Looking back...hasn't it gone by so fast. Time flies. I look at Bj and can't believe he's eight. I wish I could stop it.
