Mothers Day

I had a great day on Mothers Day. It was a little different in that we didn't go up to my mom's house because she was in Idaho visiting her sister (Aunt Clara). She is in the Pocatello Hospital with pneumonia. So we just stayed home, but it was really nice. The boys and Kelly gave me a brand new camera and Amee gave me the "Ghost Whisperer". She also made us all dinner which was the best. Grandpa Nielson and Jill came over so they could talk to Chase when he called. Chase called from North Carolina around 6:00 p.m. We put the phone on speaker so that we could all talk to him. He told us that they are now teaching 20 investigators. Wow ! That just seems pretty incredible to me. He is doing really good. It was great to hear his voice. He sounded so happy and excited to be there. We talked for about an hour and fifteen minutes and it was super hard to say good-bye. Boy did that time go fast ! The next phone call will be Christmas. I guess the good news is that by Christmas he will have almost been gone a year. We all miss him a ton but it make it a little easier when you know that he is super happy.
