Hello Elder O'Rullian -10-23-2015
Are you a real boy? Or actually are you a REAL ELDER?? Just finished reading your personal letters to each of us and that's the thought that keeps running through my mind! My heart is so full of love for you son and couldn't be prouder of your service and dedication to the work!! I feel humbled and your words. They remind me of the sweet loving Blakie boy you've always been from the time you were a child.
I have no doubt that The Lord's light will shine through when you go about and teaching those around you including your companions, etc. Yes, our story (which is YOUR story too of how we all came together) is evidence of the Lords love for each of us, and how with faith miracles happen! You being born to us was a miracle beyond miracles! You were the cherry on top and have continued to prove it. Yes, you've already made me a proud missionary mom!
I'll send the 3books. It is a wonderful missionary story that hopefully will touch lives of many when prompted to share. So just a few quick questions. Did you ask if I can see you at the airport for even just a few minutes before you head off. If no, I will abide by it :-(! Also is there anything else I can send you, because honestly you'll want some USA snacks and foods, and shampoos and detergents when you get there. that's what others say. I can send some protein bars, pop tarts, popcorn. You name it I'll send luv! Do you need more stamps. Can you sends email back to us from Cebu via the pouch method (like we can send to you one page letters)?
Sorry to ramble, BTW your reference on Elder Tuaba/Tuba had us LOL! Sure miss your humor luv!! Brian is a great companion around here and there seems to definitely be more peace at home. We are all trying! I'm probably gonna go see grandma in Palmdale. They send their love. If you get a chance drop them a shot note, they would love it as they always pray and ask for you. Their address: 37014 Casa Verde Drive, Palmdale, CA. 93550. Also grandmas Rosemary's/Nelson's is: 12524 Aristo Place, Granada Hills, CA. 91344
Chow for now luv, and know we love you forever! Hug and kisses, MOM
Blake, this is dad. Thank you so much for the beautiful, thoughtful letter. I am so proud of you, Son! I've never thought more of my mission and experiences than now, and wish I could get out there and tract and teach with you! We enjoyed speaking with Jeffrey Black and seeing some pictures of his mission, and getting a flavor of what you will experience. I know you can hardly wait to get there. I was the same way----all missionaries are. You have so many exciting experiences awaiting you, difficult ones too, but you will learn and grow, and the Lord will be by your side. I love you son. Have a great week! -Dad
