Week 18

Andrew was called in by his mission president and told the news of his grandpas passing. Here is the sweet note he wrote to his Grammy: 

grammy I just want you to know that I love you and that you have always been a major role model in my life. Things are going to be different but things are going to be good. The Lord has a plan for us and we will all see grandpa again. When I found out all I could think about was you. I wanted to fly home just to hug you then fly right back. But one thing that I want you to know also though is that I feel grandpas presence in my work as a missionary. He's with me and he is protecting me. I'm so very glad I had the opportunity to go through the temple with you guys before I came here. It was my last memories of grandpa. love you grammy
