Alex's Birthday Surprise!

Words can not even describe my joy in this post!  What a wonderful blessing to have a family love Alex so much!


Hi Sister Thompson,

My name is Wendy Bradshaw, mom of Paul who sent you the picture of your son on Monday.  I just wanted to tell you how much we love your son!  He is such a delightful addition to our ward.  He is so wonderful with my boys and such a GOOD example.  We are so blessed to have him serving in our ward. 

It was so neat for us to find out that your son was 18.  My oldest, Paul, will be 18 in September.  Your sweet son has been so encouraging to Paul- telling him how important is to graduate, calling him to come and teach them, reminding him read his scriptures.  It is WONDERFUL!  Your son is reaching Paul in ways we can’t.  Thank you for sending him to us and letting him bless our lives!

I have a tiny favor to ask.  Could you tell me some of your son’s favorite foods/treats?  I want to make him a dinner he really likes when he and his companion come for dinner.  Your son is so polite and he won’t tell me what his favorite dinner is.  I know what Elder Clark likes, but your son always says anything is fine.  He is so kind!

You have a wonderful son!  We love him so much!

Love,
Wendy


Janae’ and Gwen,

We thoroughly enjoyed having your sons in our home today to celebrate Elder Thompson’s birthday!  Elder Thompson and Elder Clark are such great missionaries and we love having them in our ward and in our home!  I have attached some pictures we took today of them in our home as well as a video link of us singing Happy Birthday to Elder Thompson.

We wanted to let you know that your sons are doing very well and we are so impressed with both of them!  They love the Lord and are such good, dedicated missionaries and great examples to us and our children.  We are preparing our oldest son to leave on his mission later this year which we are very excited about.

Have a great evening!

Regards,
