We got to TALK TO COLBY TODAY!!
I love hearing his sweet voice on the other end of the phone...
He called shortly after we arrived home from church (we have the later church, 1-4 pm. So does Colby.) It was wonderful to talk with him, and hear him giggle. He sounds so very happy. I'm sure some of it is his companion Elder Berg - they seem to enjoy one another's company quite well. They have a new apartment, and will be moving into it this next weekend. Neither of them were transferred, so they will be together for the next six weeks, at least. They seem fairly happy about that =)
Colby laughed when we told him his swimming trick was in the ward newsletter last week... and yes, he got his brakes fixed. =) they just needed adjusting, and when he realized how simple it was he felt silly that he hadn't done it sooner.
I spoke with him for the majority of the time, but when Britanee & Brian stopped by, Rian wanted to talk with him. She did more nodding of her head than actually speaking, but it was cute to watch her excitement. Linzi had something she wanted to share with him "real quick," and that started the phone getting passed around. We were all able to chat for a little bit, and fill him in on all the happenings around home. We sure love this kid!
There is something very comforting in hearing your child's voice...especially a voice you don't get to hear very often. I miss him fiercely, but I am happy that he is happy, and doing what he wants to be doing. When I think about not hearing his voice again until Christmas, it makes me sad, but we will still be able to "chat" each Monday when he sends his weekly email. Just knowing he is doing well, and working hard is comforting to me as a mom. I love him so very much...
