This is an email and pictures I receive Thanksgiving night. It was just an added bonus to the wonderful day that I had being with my kids and their families
Dear Fowlks Family,
On this Thanksgiving, I wanted to reach out and send you a short note to let you know that we are indeed thankful for your sacrifice in allowing your son to serve as missionary in our ward. Even though Elder Fowlks has been away from home for an extensive period of time,undoubtedly on family holidays such as today, his presence is missed.Therefore, after dinner in my home yesterday, I took the liberty to snap a few photos of him and his companion that I have attached to this email for your enjoyment. As the ward mission leader, I have the privilege of being able to regularly go out and teach investigators with the missionaries. During my outings with the missionaries, I have been truly impressed by Elder Fowlk's diligence in doing the work, his desire to serve, and his love for the people and the Savior. From these experiences, I have concluded that he must surely come from goodly parents. My family's membership in the church is a direct result of diligent missionaries like your son and so we are eternally grateful for their service. So thank you once again and may you have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
