Happy Birthday Bryce

Since Bryce has moved on, it has been very comforting to have companion and friends write that they have felt his strength and missionary spirit continue on and have offered prayers that he will teach those they love in heaven that haven't accepted the gospel. Heaven seems nearer when someone you love is there!

New Title for Bryce....Matchmaker

This is a picture of the newly weds...Crystal and Spence Melander. Spence and Bryce go way back. I missed their reception which made me very sad but couldn't be helped so I took a present over to Crystal's family home last night. As I was talking with her mom and she found out that I was Bryce's Mum, she told me that Crystal and Spence attribute getting together to Bryce. It was fun to hear that after Bryce's accident, Crystal that knew Spence and knew Bryce, called Spencer to see if he needed someone to talk to. They got together and the rest is history. I was happy to get to hear that and sad that we weren't able to go to the reception to meet Crystal. Congrats to the cute couple!

Thank you Written to Home Teacher

Today our neighbor who happened to be our home teacher before Bryce left on his mission, paid us a visit with an old envelope. Inside was a thank you that I had made at least 4 years ago. Dallin had addressed the envelope and inside Bryce had written thanking our home teacher for helping him with some scout badges. It was signed by Bryce and Dallin.
Bro. _____ my mom wants me to give you this card. I don't know why you would want it, but she is getting really ornery about it so here it is. Thank for helping me with Scouts and taking me flying and boating they were both way fun.
I was impressed that this great home teacher hung on to that thank you and had to laugh when he told me that it was probably one of a kind. He should see some of the doozies I happened to stumble across through the years! Pure Bryce.

Serving others

Bryce wrote some pretty profound things: in his journals, letters, etc. One thing that I have consistently found as I've been going through his "small plates" (missionary notes journal) is that he loves to quote himself. I really get a kick out of that. Here's an "Elder Christensen" quote that I stumbled across today.

“To love someone you must serve them, to want to serve someone start by serving them.” Elder Christensen
