Housing letters

This is not Colton, but an email exchange from my mom and the lady who is housing Colton. My mother's email is first. And a response to the previous blog entry.

What a wonderful e-mail to wake up to this morning!!

Thank you! He is an amazing young man, and has been a joy to raise! He will be a great missionary and instrument for the Lord, I'm sure. He comes from a very long line of fantastic missionaries. His grand parents are perfect examples of service. We too are preparing to serve a mission, but we are still about 10 years off. I can't think of a better way to move into the next phase of life! I hope you will be able to serve one day, but know that even if you can't serve in another country or state, there are many mom's like me that will be eternally grateful to you for housing our precious young men!!

Thanks again, Sister Bragg

Good Morning Sister Bragg,

Just a note to tell you we loved your response to our e-mail. Elder Penrod, who is Elder Bragg’s senior companion has been out for 21 months and runs a tight ship. Elder Penrod is very inspired and works extremely hard. Your missionary is following his great example and is learning from one of the best. Elder Bragg loves the hard work, never complains, just the opposite he is excited to serve in any way he can. Together they make an almost perfect companionship. This is a great start to a mission! He is a wonderful young man.

All our love,
Bill & Kathy Anderson
