week 90 I want Molasses french toast with homemade syrup so bad

Hello!

I dont have a lot to share this week. With calling home for mothers day i feel like i have shared everything but there is something i want to share and its about Moms!

The last while since i have been on my mission  i have seen such an importance of Mothers. Of course i saw the importance in my own mother growing up but since being out its my seeing of the importance has only gotten bigger. Ive seen mothers give everything they have for their kids. Even if that means they go cold for the night so their kid can have a jacket they will do it. I think of a scripture verse from the Book of Mormon in Alma chapter 56.. When the 2000 stripling warriors are about to go off to fight.. its says

47 Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; and they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives; yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them.

48 And they rehearsed unto me the words of their mothers, saying: We do not doubt our mothers knew it.

These boys had no idea what they were going to do. They had no experience and had every right to be scared out of their minds but they had no fear. They had been taught by their mothers and had faith in God. As i little boy I remember reading this scripture and thinking what would doing something like that feel like. Well coming out here on my mission I feel thats the closest to that I can get. Everyday with out fail something happens and I can manage because of what my mother taught me. Without my mom I would be no where and I think we can all say the same. Moms are the best. 

Hope you are all doing good. miss you all lots!
