HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY


Today at 9:40 AM
Happy Mother's day to all of the amazing women in my life! I have been blessed by the influence of not only my own wonderful mother but also by the mother of my children (my sweetheart), a wonderful mother-in-law, the mothers of my grandchildren and many other women of faith and conviction over the years. I honor each of you and express my heart-felt love and appreciation for the imprint you have made on my life. The world would be a very boring place were it not for the women God has placed in our paths to nurture, love and teach us.

I sold 2 cars this week. Maybe I do have hopes for a second career after I return home. I have 4 more ready to sell this month and another 15 or so that will be ready to sell between now and the fall.

The weather has been wonderful! We have had sunshine, blue skies and even some Seattle rain. I got absolutely drenched one morning this week as I was walking and the skies opened up. That was not not a Seattle rain; it was pounding off the pavement.

I will get some relief starting this week on inspecting cars. I will train the 28 zone and district leaders this week on just how to inspect them. I will then have them inspect every vehicle each month. I will inspect each of them once per quarter to insure they are not overlooking anything important. I am hoping this will improve the overall cleanliness and care of the vehicles.

I had fun taking my sweetheart shopping this week for some new summer outfits. We are finding you get really tired of wearing the same outfits week after week. That is particularly for me with 4 suits and only so many ties you can add to enhance a white shirt.

As I have watched the influx of any new sister missionaries, I have marveled at the Spirit they carry and their ability to share what they know and love. I have thought often, what better training could they receive to be mothers, wives and homemakers than to be in the Lord's service where He can tutor and train them. No doubt, they will be mothers who have a deep commitment to know and to follow the Lord, Jesus Christ as they raise a righteous posterity to further enhance the hastening of the Lords Second Coming. This hastening will continue until He returns again and many valiant young missionaries are going to be needed to share the good news of the gospel. They will be prepared to press forward in faith because and not doubt because they know their mothers know it.

I encourage you to reach out to the many mothers in your life and thank them for their example of faith, courage and love. Have a blessed week!

Elder Taggart
