Church and Skype-ing. We are adjusting to the new Mother's day normal at least for the next two years with the elder and his younger brother Rylee soon to join him in the mission field (Jan 2014). So next Mother's day (2014) we'll have two calls/contact opportunities.
Special thanks to to bro. & sis. Mayfield and their family for opening up their home to the elder and his companion elder Perez for Sunday dinner and Skype. It was a joy to hear and this time see the elder again. The beauty and wonder of technology! In short he looked and sounded Fantastic! Wonderful! Great!
In our home was our family, Jr. Hamilton, Faaagi, and grandpa Gautavai. We spoke with him as a group and then he was able to visit with Rylee one-on-one.
The highlight of the Skype video call was singing "Love at Home" before saying our good byes. Needless to say, it was very spiritual and moving; leading to the shedding of tears by all! It was really cool!
Earlier in the afternoon we were blessed to be able to Skype video call with elder Gautavai in Wisconsin at Grandpa Gautavai's home next door. The elder is now on his 16 month and is an amazing missionary experiencing wonderful things! He like his cousin in Georgia are a great source of pride and joy for our family. Elder Gautavai looks wonderful and is totally engaged in his call to serve and representing the Savior. It's humbling to think of the elder as he is and the influences of his mother, grandma Gautavai and aunt Faaagi have had on him -- especially today as we honor our Mother's. He'll be wrapping up his mission not long after the next call (Christmas day).
