Thrilled beyond words! And Mom definitely did the happy dance (video to follow if she hasn't deleted it by now!) He's so sweet and doing great! He had a little something just for - how did he put it, "encouraging words to those of the current household". haha - that kid! His advice to Tanner is my favorite part. That and his testimony. I'll never get tired of hearing it! Here's just some snippits from his letter:
Tanner:
First off, I just want to tell you that you are awesome! And when you got to Moroni's Quest (youth conference) don't be a Laman or a Lemuel. Be a Nephi! In other words, don't murmur and stuff like that. I only say this because Moroni's Quest is when I gained a stronger testimony of the Book of Mormon. And that's when I knew that it's a true book. So when you go, "liken the scriptures" (1Nephi 19:23) to yourself. And lastly, remember that you are never alone. Heavenly Father is there with you, even when you think you're alone. And He knows what you are going through.
Den:
Thank you for never giving up on us. I am glad that I am here and I know there are days that are going to be hard. I have never felt the spirit so strong and I know that my testimony has grown.
Mom:
I don't know what to say because I get to email with you every week. Just know that I am just fine. I know there are going to be hard days, but remember to be thankful for those hard times (more proof that I was paying attention in conference..haha). Mom, I know that this is the true church. I know that God has called me to help share His gospel. The Book of Mormon is the word of God and if we have a question I know we can turn to the scriptures, and with a sincere heart we can find our answers.
Love, Elder Hunter Ririe
