I could not get into my e-mail today. So for the first time in 17 months I did not write him. I have no way to tell him why we did not write.

Why couldn't you get in your email?

If it's a problem on your end with your computer, then you could easily call someone in the ward (or even another family member) and have them email your son to let him know what' s up and that you will be emailing as soon as possible.

Something to do with bellsouth...not sure. Just don't want Caleb to think we forgot.

No...I thought about calling mission President...he knows I am hurt (Caleb) so I don't want him to worry until next Monday.

Just call the mission president then.  I'm sure he'll understand and then you won't have to worry about what Caleb might be assuming is going on (if you don't want to do that-you could message me Caleb's email address and i'll send him a quick note right now telling him whatever you want me to).

No, it seems like it went so fast!  I'm sure it hasn't seemed like that on your end though.

Seems like an eternity. I talk to all my kids every few days, and have Sunday dinner, we are all close and I miss not seeing him or talking with him. Even when we fought...it would usually end in laughter.

Where is your kiddo serving?
10 a. Collectively and individually, you are loved with an everlasting love that delights in each faithful step taken. God yearns to draw you close so that wounds may be healed, emptiness filled, and hope strengthened.
b. Do not turn away in pride, fear, or guilt from the One who seeks only the best for you and your loved ones. Come before your Eternal Creator with open minds and hearts and discover the blessings of the gospel anew. Be vulnerable to divine grace. -D&C 163:10

Sorry I didn't see this thread last week when I was in Roseville!
The LDS Stake Medium Council Blog

In spite of the world's arguments against the historicity of the Flood, and despite the supposed lack of geologic evidence, we Latter-day Saints believe that Noah was an actual man, a prophet of God, who preached repentance and raised a voice of warning, built an ark, gathered his family and a host of animals onto the ark, and floated safely away as waters covered the entire earth. We are assured that these events actually occurred by the multiple testimonies of God's prophets.

The Flood and the Tower of Babel,  by Donald W. Parry, assistant professor of Hebrew at BYU, Ensign, Jan 1998, 35

You could write a regular letter.
"It is extremely important for you to believe in yourselves, not only for what you are now, but for what you have the power to become. Trust in the Lord as He leads you along. He has things for you to do that you won't know about now, but that will unfold later. If you stay close to Him, you will have some great adventures. You will live in a time when instead of just talking about prophecies that will sometime be fulfilled, many of them will actually be fulfilled. The Lord will unfold your future bit by bit."- Elder Neal A. Maxwell
