There is sunshine in my soul

Elder Christofferson, who is in our ward, went to Australia.  He is the first apostle to visit Alice Springs.  He was probably as excited to see Avram as Avram was to see him.  He took Avram a little package from us and added in some treats for him.  

When Elder Christofferson returned from his trip to Australia he gave a brief report to the ward.  We were out of town but my neighbor sent me the following text:

"You've got a good one there (Avram).  Elder Christofferson was just beaming when he was talking about Avram.  Time was up for the meeting but he was determined to get up and speak to us.  You could tell Elder Christofferson was excited to talk about nvram.  It was really sweet.  Avram was his entire purpose for getting up and speaking today.  He said such wonderful and beautiful things!! He said 'it was fun to visit Avram in the middle of Australia.  Any further away and he'd be on his way back home.  Avram companion was surprised to see me and when they were taking the picture, his comp said, 'you really DO know him!!'

He said Avram is ding amazing and he can see that Avram has a special relationship with the aborigines.  It's been fun to see Avram over the years sitting up front with his family.  He's always been a big tall kid.  He really sticks out in Australia.  ITS GREAT! 

I can report that Avram is serving well and you would all be proud at how he's representing his Savior."

  2. It still makes me cry to read this, even though you already told me about it. I don't think a mother could get a better compliment than the one you received from Elder Christofferson.
