TOM AND PAT ARAVE

they are from the blackfoot,America. they are very kind and they are doing the most kind work in the world, missionaries ! i like them very much, and we had great times together , and now they had back to their hometown,USA,but we still have contacted each other by email ! recently i receive their emails from them, and glad to have their mails,so the following is the mail:

Dear JiWay,
I think of you often.  How are you doing?  How is your work?  Life is busy here.  I am trying to get everything done that I did not do for the last year and a half.   Our mission seems like a dream.  It is hard to believe we were ever really there. We have done a couple of firesides about our mission and I have got to show lots of my pictures.  The weather here has been cold and rainy, probably like in Saint Petersburg.    I am having fun with my cute grandchildren. I have attached some pictures of them and us.  The picture with me is our granddaughter Ava and our son Caleb (who just returned in December from serving a mission in Guatemala).  The other picture is Tom with Ashton, our grandson and Ava, our grand daughter.  The picture looks like Ava is saying "We love grandpa this much" and holds her arms out.  It was taken on Tom's birthday.  I have close to as many pictures of my grandchildren as I have pictures of you.  Tell everyone at church "Hello" from me.  I will try to be better at writing but my life is kind of boring.  I just work, work, work and still don't get much done. I love you and miss your very, very much.  Be a good boy.  Love, Your American MoM  AKA Pat

in America, all the families have lots of children in the morden times, that's so cool !
