Elder Smith joined us for dinner tonight in his new area. He made me swear not to tell you his location, he wants to tell you on his P-Day. I will say that he is in the best place in the mission!!

I made them Chinese Chicken Salad. I thought I would have a little fun with the elders. I only gave them chopsticks to eat with. t thought that they would be awkward and fumblie around. I was planning to make them sweat for a few minutes and then give them a fork. It turns out that the joke was on me. They both knew how to operate the chopsticks quite well. After dinner the Elders left us with a beautiful message about the grace of Christ. He taught that when times are hard we should ask the Lord to strengthen us to endure instead of asking Him to remove the trial. When Nephi was bound, he didn't pray to have the Lord loosen his bands; rather he prayed for the Lord to strengthen him so that he could loosen them himself.
 You have a wonderful son! I can tell he has been and will continue to be a great missionary! Have a great night! Sister Bunker
