Mother's Day Phone Call
I can't believe Mother's Day has already come and gone. What a day it was! I feel blessed to have a mom who loves me and is my best friend through the good times and the bad. Today I had the privilege of speaking in church. Hopefully I was able to do some justice to motherhood. On another note, Bry called today. I went over to listen to him talk. I wasn't expecting to say a word to him or even let him know I was there but just wanted to hear his voice. He sounded amazing. His laugh is contagious--I couldn't help but smile. It kind of came to a quiet time when Jen, his sister, whispered to let me talk to him. I panicked. My stomach flip flopped 10 times, my hands became cold and clammy, and I felt like I was going to throw up. I silently pushed the phone away--I didn't know what to say to him or if he'd even want to talk to me. I continued to listen to him when I glanced at my phone and noticed I only had five minutes til I needed to be out the door and on my way to the church building to give my talk. I packed up my stuff and as I began to leave, Jen told Matt (his brother) to put him back on speaker phone so that I could at least say hi. Matt proceeded to tell Bryant, "Hey Morgan's leaving so here she is." Ohhhhh, no big deal....SURPRISE.....I have just been here the whole time and you didn't even know. So I awkwardly grabbed the phone and began talking to him and telling him how great he sounds. He talked to me for two or three minutes in Spanish and said whatever else and I then it was time for me to leave. As I talked to him, an overwhelming feeling came over me that everything was going to be just fine. Talking to him just felt "right." I can't even describe the situation and do it justice, but all I know is that it was like our hearts connected and spoke the words we couldn't say to each other. I love that man with all of my heart. What a great day it was to be able to hear that cute missionary's voice! Keep it up Elder King!
