    Elder Stratton and I, (mom), were emailing back & forth, on May 3rd and all the sudden this 'live' picture pops up and I was startled, because I knew he was not to be video chatting.
   For a moment, I underestimated him.  It was good to see him, even if it was several minutes later on video.


If the Mother's Day pic was not enough on the
main blog, this was even better!!!
He knows I love Tulips!!!

I could have not asked for a better Mother's Day!
He made me cry again!
What a wonderful son!

Nakiah:  Was the water cold?

Caleb:  Nope, it was really warm :)

N:  Could you see the fish swimming below you?

C:  Yup, we could :)

He also said:  

Mindelo is a lot like Portugal, but no McDonalds :(

(We feel so sorry for him) :)

Mission Field:  Week 23

Alma 26:35 & 36

Now have we not reason to rejoice?  Yea, I say unto you,

there never were men that had so great reason to rejoice as we,

 since the world began; yea, and my joy is carried away,

 even unto boasting in my God; for he has all power, all wisdom,

 and all understanding; he comprehendeth all things,

 and he is a merciful Being, even unto salvation,

 to those who will repent and believe on his name.

Now this is my joy, and my great thanksgiving;

 yea, and I will give thanks unto my God forever.

 Amen.

(This is the scripture Elder Stratton wants on his missionary plaque,

that will hang on the wall at church.  When he returns back home,

 at the end of his mission, he will then be presented the plaque. 

Below, the top picture, is what will also be on it.)
