Amos was up early for work, Porter is learning to parallel park and Evie spent the morning with her friend Jesse while the other kids were at Jujitsu. She then had 6 media interviews.
Amos only made it through about 8 of his 10 work hours and is in a lot of pain tonight.
He came home with a super nice card for Evie signed by dozens of prison workers who are cheering her on.
We got contracts for her NY performance and set up another performance in Pennsylvania that is a benefit concert for families with medical expenses. We told them we would love to do it since we have been so blessed by others who have helped and continue to help with our medical expenses.
In fact, we got some mail today that knocked us out of our seats. One was a very generous donation from President Potter, Amos’s former mission president who called him a few days ago. I talked to this incredible man for a few minutes this morning about Amos and his brother Tom who also served in the Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 mission. He had pretty nice things to say about these special brothers.
We also got a card from our sweet friend Kathy Atwood then another from Amos’s third grade teacher that read:
Dear Amos,
I read the article in LDS Living yesterday about your darling daughter, Evie Clair and listened to her singing “Arms” on America’s Got Talent.
Tears ran down my cheeks knowing that she’s your daughter.
She has your tender qualities and you and your wife, Hillary, can be so proud of her.
I loved you as my obedient, caring and loveable 3rd grader and I would love you even more as my bishop.
Carry on and know that my prayers are with you and your family.
With Love,
Your 3rd grade teacher – Mrs. Crawford
Amos said she was his favorite teacher ever. He also can’t get over the love and support from his mission president. This world is full of such amazing people.
After family night we played the game ‘graveyard’ since it was the only game Amos was able to play. He won!
Tomorrow our whole family will be on 3TV|CBS 5 for Good Morning Arizona at 8:45 am.
