Dear Family,

The past three days in the field have been life changing. This past Saturday through an old case worker who was involved in my life before, during, and after our adoptions, I was able to see three of my biological brothers from Houston and the Beaumont area who drove hear to Leander to find me. I made contact with this case worker two years ago and she has since kept all of my information. Last week she ran into two of my brothers Trenton and Aaron and they both asked about us. Virginia Hill (the caseworker) called my house and was able to get my information and give it to my brothers.

Saturday afternoon the member that my companion and I live with came inside and told me there were three men outside and they said they were my brothers. When I went outside I saw Aaron (Aaron’s fiancé), Trenton, and Kevin. Aaron was the first to say hello and as he walked towards me he said “I’m your brother” and gave me a big hug and began to cry. I was able to visit with them for a little over and hour and afterwards they went back to Houston where Aaron his fiancé, and Kevin live, and Beaumont where Trenton lives.

I want you all to know of my love for you. Heavenly Father has given me strength and maturity beyond my own abilities to accept and process this experience. I don’t have much to say except I know that Heavenly Father knows all things. This truth has helped strengthen my faith in him and in myself. Know that life continues to go well for me and there couldn’t have been a better time for this to occur than now, while I’m within the safety of my mission. Aaron, Trenton, and Kevin have been very understanding and respectful of my responsibilities and we will continue to communicate through letters and e-mails until I return to Utah.

Thank you all again for your love and support. I know we each have feelings and thoughts that we may have difficulties expressing but we need to remember once again that Heavenly Father knows all things and like family; he can give us strength and bring comfort.

I love you all and hope you have a good week
