| Hunter turns 19 and celebrates in the MTC |
Happy, happy birthday Hunter dear! I can't believe that this handsome amazing boy/man turns 19 today. And he celebrates in the MTC. I can't believe that he is old enough to be in the mission field. I am so proud of him and for his choices. We hadn't heard from him until today. I have been having a very difficult time with his leaving and was praying/reading scriptures in sacrament meeting. During my reading, my phone buzzed indicating a new mail message. After the sacrament ended, I looked at my messages and saw an email from Elder Hunter May letting me know who happy he is to be in the MTC and that he is already having wonderful experiences. I felt like it was an answer to my prayers and the Lord granted me a tender mercy to know that our "little boy" was doing so well and happy with his decision.
Hunter's entrance into this world made me a mom which was all I ever wanted to be. I was connected to him from the moment I found out I was pregnant and I have had special connection with him since then. I hope he has a wonderful birthday today and I can't wait to get my next email from him. I love him and love that he has made the choice to serve a mission.
