Lost life and new beginnings.

Jeff's uncle Tony passed away on Saturday 9/7/2013. He fought a good fight against brain cancer for the last 2 1/2 years. He leaves behind a wonderful family who loved him very much. He love pirates and dutch oven cooking. 




Taz his son is currently serving a mission in Missouri St. Louis Mission he left for the MTC April 25, 2012. I don't know if he'll be coming home. I know he's been able to make extra phone calls home to talk with his dad. Which is good. At least with the LDS religion we believe that families can be together forever. Death is just one more thing that we must learn and endure before we can all be with Heavenly Father and all our families again one day.

On a separate note, I got to talk with Chelstiene today. She call me from the airport before her flight out to Portland. A nice lady let some of the New Missionaries use her phone to call their parents. Thank you to who ever you were that could be so nice. 


Chelstiene sounded good. She was very excited. I was glad to hear other Missionaries were flying with her (since this is her very first time flying), 21 to be exact. Sister Beames was with her also. She was so happy to talk with me but then she started crying and so did I. She asked if I got her bedding sent off (which I did), asked about her pets, and said she loved me. 


A lady in our ward (Chelstienes twin) was asked if she was excited to go on a mission. She thought it was quite funny. Every one asks how she is doing and tells me that she will be an amazing missionary. She will be awesome. The people in Oregon are so lucky to have her there with them.
