{Elder Jones also forwarded this email to me, with this note attached: "Sister G. wanted me to send this to you." Awwww.}

We were so excited to have Elder Hoffman and Elder Jones in our home last night. They bring such a great spirit and are truly making such a difference in the lives of so many people! I thought you would also be very pleased to know that in addition to being very fun and understanding of the chaos in our home (we were babysitting two kids for another couple in the ward and had seven kids under the age of eight at the dinner!) they also taught a wonderful lesson and bore very powerful testimony of the need to share the gospel with those around us. They bring such a beautiful spirit to our home and to the ward. You should be so proud! :)

Also, you have clearly done something right. We sent the elders home with the left overs from the roast dinner and they not only brought the Tupperware back to us CLEAN at church the very next morning, they also had thank you notes not only for Andrew and I but also one for each of our children with pictures and such. The kids were so excited!! What treasures. Anyway-- good job mom! You did something very right! :) We will sure miss Elder Hoffman and Elder Jones when their time here ends.

Love,

Ruth and Andrew G., and family

PS Please find attached photos with the elders. My husband took them on the phone, so they are not the best quality. Sorry. :)
