I always feel really bad because you guys write me all the time and I hardly ever write you back. It gets really busy trying to reply to everyone. But you guys should be number one. I wanted to let you know how grateful I am to have you as my parents.
As I started the Book of Mormon over again I love how the first thing Nephi feels obligated to say is," I Nephi having been born of goodly parents". Not I Nephi a wise and obedient man, not I Nephi a young and prosperous boy, not I Nephi, a servant of the Lord. I Nephi having been born of goodly parents. The role of mom and dad are essential to Gods plan. One of the highest honors and Nephi makes that known. It isn't always the case, that not everyone can say I have been born of goodly parents. But I definitely can say that I Hermana Davis, having been born of goodly parents have been extremely blessed to be loved and cared for.
You both are so amazing. Thank you for teaching us kids to walk in the ways of truth and soberness, to love one another and to serve one another (Mosiah 4.15) by being an example to look up to. I know we weren't the easiest children to raise and that we all had our ups and downs. Our trials and difficulties. But you guys helped us all through each and everyone with love and patience and firmness. I am so grateful that I got sent down to you guys as my parents. I love you all so much. Whatever is going on in your lives, work trouble, tooth trouble, house trouble or furnace trouble, because that seems to always break right around this time, I know that it is only Satan trying to stop this family because we are all doing so much good. Mommy, Daddy, I love you both so very much. I am so beyond grateful for all the sacrifices you made and are making for our family. I couldn't
be on my mission without you. Thank you for always writing me and taking care of me even though I am in a completely different part of the world. You guys are the best. Kisses, butterfly kisses, hugs, some sassy sly remark, more hugs and kisses. I love you.
Your little girl
