Hey Mom,
Since today is mothers day we were allowed 15 minutes to email you
today. So, I just wanted to let you know that I am extremely grateful
that you are the mother I have been given here on Earth. Mom, looking
back at all of the experiences I've had growing up I know that you have
always been there looking out for me. I know I wasn't always an easy
child or a great example to the rest of the kids but I want you to know
that I am trying to be the best example i can be now. Being with you the
past year has been a blessing as I have grown closer to you than I
think I ever remember being. I know that you love me and I can come to
you for anything if needed. Know that I am out here serving the Lord so
that others may here the gospel you brought me up in, and I'm very
grateful for that. Thanks for always being pushy and forcing me in the
right direction when there were times that I may have been swaying in
the wind. I know that you've been one of my steady anchors and without
that I don't know where I would be right now. I love you Mom, It hurts
me that I have to be away from you for the next two years but I know
it's where I'm supposed to be right now. The people of Bolivia are being
prepared for my teachings and to hear the gospel of the Lord. My
testimony is growing each day and I hope I am becoming more and more of
the man you and Dad want me to become each day as I am here. You,
Dad, and the rest of the family are constantly in my thoughts. I know
that Heavenly Father is blessing you guys for allowing me to have the
opportunity to be out here. I know that this isn't the expected Mothers
Day you thought you would have from me because it isn't a phone call,
but know through this email that I care about you, love you, and hope
you are doing great. I'm more than thankful for everything you've ever
done for me. I'll see you in the near future, two years isn't as long as
it sounds. I'll email you again on Tuesday with a big update on how
everything has been going.
Love your oldest son,
Elder Neuhaus
