One week has passed

It's been one week since we saw our son/brother/uncle. To me it feels like a month! I still haven't gone into his room. The door has been shut. I think I will plan to open the door and walk in soon. I just know it will bring a FLOOD of tears and I don't think I am ready for that just yet :) I will try to focus on the fact that being a missionary is a wonderful thing and he is doing GREAT things. 

If you are not following John Conrad on Facebook, I encourage you to do so. He will be sharing some amazing messages on there. I was very happy to see he had posted his first one since he has been at the Provo MTC. 

He wrote: 

What a great quote! I haven't thought of it like that before.

How can you serve others? One way I've been serving others in the MTC is I open any doors I can for others.

Comment below some ways you serve others. #service

My response:

I can just imagine you opening the doors and standing quite a while as you do so 

 I saw you do this so many times and was always grateful for you doing this. Your Grandfather lived a life of service. He was always doing things for others and was at his happiest when he was doing so. One of the simple ways I serve others is by texting people to let them know I am thinking of them and asking if there is anything I can do to help them. Lately, I have been reminded that I need to ACT on this. I not only should ask people if there is anything I can do for them....I need to think of things they may need and just do it! Keep up the good work, son. You were born to do amazing things. I love you! 

I am looking forward to seeing more of these wonderful posts!

"We love you Elder Conrad"
