Happy Mother’s Day

Today is Mother’s Day in the US. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in the family. Thank you for all you do. I appreciate you all sooooo much. So here is a special greeting from me. OOOOOXXXXX

Thank you to the mothers who are doing such a great job raising my grandchildren.

 Thank you to my mom for always being so loving and caring, for teaching me the gospel, and helping me have a love for the gospel and also how to manage life and how to work. We are glad you are here with us right now. Too bad it won’t be for long. (But that can always change). Thank you for always remembering any special occasion. 

Thank you Marta for being such a great mom and grandma to our family. A thank you to you also for always remember special occasions. And sorry that we are so bad at it!! We wish we could see you more often. But we know you are now being a wonderful grandma and greatgrandma to your beautiful family in Arizona.

Thank you to all the rest of the family mothers who are a great example to me in all your are doing.

So to all the moms, pat yourselves on the back. I read somewhere the other day that a housewife is worth $117,000 a year, but also that that amount was not high enough. I agree. And it doesn’t take into account the influence we have on our children’s lives. That can’t be measured in money. What a blessing to be able to raise some of our Heavenly Father’s children and hope that we don’t make too many mistakes.

To you in Sweden, I know Mother’s day is not for another couple of weeks, but you might as well enjoy two Mother’s days.

Today, my parents are speaking at church. We look forward to hearing more about their mission. We appreciate them and all their service and for the good example they have set for us in serving the Lord and others.

Spring is here, finally. Back to mowing the lawn, doing yard work, but also enjoying the beautiful flowers everywhere, and the trees turning green. There is still snow on the mountains, and there was more the other day, but it will melt soon, as the days get warmer all the time. I actually love the snow capped mountains as long as possible. It is so beautiful!! 

I love you all!!!
