Last P-Day

Week #100



Last Monday email from Elder Dickson: 

"The last P-day is not a real P-day. I was lucky to get ten minutes to read what you wrote and write this little bit."

That's all he wrote! 

He has over 24 hours of travel ahead of him. He leaves Porto Alegre, Brasil on Tuesday afternoon. We are all excited for his return on Wednesday May 6th but it is also bittersweet as he leaves the people he has served and loved for the past two years. Mom is thankful that she had written to Sister Wright (Elder Dickson's Mission President's wife) to ask a few last minute questions. Here are the words she shared today:

"I will be spending most of the day with Elder Dickson today and and also most of the day tomorrow. We will have a wonderful farewell dinner and testimony meeting tonight.  
His heart is centered on the gospel.He is a faithful and devoted missionary. We are so grateful to have had the blessing to serve with him and to see this glorious change and growth. His testimony is deep. We will miss him!  
Have a great day-and let me know if there is anything else I can do to help!

Love, Sister Wright"
