Franco, Matthew

My Dear Son, Elder Franco,     I am so grateful for your love and testimony. I am also glad you are feeling better. You are so loved and an amazing young man. I know you love your Father in Heaven and Savior and that serving them for the next two years is where you are supposed to be at this time in your life. How that path will look is still unknown but I know as long as you continue to be obedient, that the spirit will guide you and be your constant companion. You are my joy and light and I will always be there for you even though I will not be near you physically. Thank you for that wonderful scripture it does bring me comfort.     Love you to the moon and back always, Mom

Dear Mother, I decided to use your school email instead of your normal email because I feel like it would be easier to communicate between you and me . I love you so much and yesterday, I think I was stressed the other day. I believe the reason why is that it was a realization that this is not going to be all the time. like I don't get to be in person with you on pdays after the 12th. However, as I prayed I realized that I'm going to be fine as long as I rely on these certainties. 1, I will talk to you by phone or laptop. 2, My Beloved heavenly father will bless me in many ways than I can count. 3, My companion and Mission president will have my back and finally 4, I will have the companionship of the holy ghost and with him my savior. I want to leave you with a verse. In Alma 17:10, "And it came to pass that the lord did visit them with his Spirit and said unto them: Be comforted. And they were comforted." love you Mom! Sincerely, Elder Franco
