Hermana Scott with one of her admirers, she calls him "Ironman Max" !!
Yesterday was Mothers Day, and as all members of the church know, that is one of the two days a year missionaries get to "phone home" !! It was a much anticipated day. And it just happened to work out wonderfully, my sister and her family came to visit our mom just as it was time to call her. Also Jennifer and Jayden came to talk to her too. It was a very festive atmosphere and everyone got an opportunity to speak to Hill before we settled in for our long chat.
It went something like this, Grandma got first dibs on the cell and got all teary eyed, she is truly missing Hill. Then Jennifer and Jayden got to talk to her, and Jayden was very plain in his, "Aunt Hillree" and "I love you"'s !! Aunt Jamie was so excited to hear her voice for the first time since 1/20/2010 and they were both very emotional. Then Jenna talked to her, and I do believe she was just as excited as I was. The cute part about Jenna talking to her is her older brothers said just tell her "hi", but Jenna took the phone to them and made them talk to her, and secretly they were just as excited to speak to her as we were. Then was my turn and we were able to settle a lot of items in regards to her return in 50 days form Sunday !! I have to tell you it was like she had never been gone, the only difference was the Spanish she kept speaking !! At one point she said mom can you guess what I can't wait to do when I get home? And I said shoe shopping? lol And she said to hold a baby again, because while serving they are not allowed to hold babies or children. So as soon as we get home we will be heading for the nearest baby !! lol

I heard about that rule of not holding babies or small children, but I didn't know it applied to sister missionaries too. How sad. Crazy world we live in.
I'm so glad you got to talk to your Hlllary!
I don't even understand that rule. Glad everyone got to say hi and have a fun chat. I'm especially happy for you that you are on the count DOWN. :)
Thank you Jill & Allyson it was so sweet... The reason is they represent the church and if they dropped a baby the church can be sued!! It is indeed a sad world at times, but thankfully not always !!
