Schematics for our roller-coaster lives...

Hey my Ethan-Engineer-Man!  We liked your question: What are we teaching the people here on our Mission?  We also liked Asher-Reader-Man's request for us to "come to your house and for you to come to our house for dinner".  Thank you very much for your emails.  They sure make us happy.

Do you remember when you were building your roller-coaster and you had pages of plans so it wouldn't get all messed up?  I loved observing you. It was alot of work, but you knew just what to do, and when something didn't fit, (or was way upside down!) then you could figure out what went wrong and redo that part...all because you had the right plans to look at.  When you think about it...everyone in the whole wide world is building something.  Every single person is building a "life" ...the one that they will have for ever and ever.

On our mission, we get to teach people about Jesus. He loves all of us and wants us to build the very best and most happy life possible, which is called a 'Celestial' life.

'Schematics' is just another great name for 'plans'. Schematics teach us how to put things together in the right order.  Some people already have the Celestial Schematics, but there are lots of people who don't even know that those plans exist.  Missionaries get to take them the plans!  Guess what the plans look like?  They are the scriptures! You have the plans right on your dresser!  When we follow the scripture schematics, then our spirits smile.

Jesus created this world so everyone could learn about Heavenly Father's plans and try them out! You should see how happy people are to know that Heavenly Father has already designed a plan for all of His children.  He will help us make awesome designs in our lives.

Ethan and Asher...You will love being Missionaries!  

We love you so so so so so much...and we miss you...and when we get back...we will come to your house and you can come to our house...and we will build lots of stuff!  (in fact, just ask your mom...maybe she will let you just move in!)   Hugs and High-Fives!

Grandma, Thanks for answering my questions. I would like to know what we could build at your house. I would like to build something out of wood! And guess what? I put papers on my wall that say church words. I read scriptures all night, well not all night, ummmm...... so each night I read ahead of the family. I love you so much!
Love, Ethan!

We love you, Grandma. I could say a joke for you: What did the goose say to the frog? Hey, do you have a frog comment?
Love, Asher

Mom, I love this so much! Thank you for writing these personalized posts! This is the best idea ever. We love you lots! :)
Love, Amy
