Santiago at night



(Mom) … I think Jayce and I are connected on some kind of magical emotional cycle...If it’s so, I think he has had a really hard week. It is so great how trials push us so much. Elder Zeballos of the 1st quorum of the seventy came to a conference this last week. I was asked to introduce him and his wife. It was really fun to have the privilege to do that. I was also asked to sing a song in one of them, because no one else volunteered. I get so nervous to do things like that, but it is so good for me to break out of my shell. I quickly called up an Elder and pretty much begged him to sing with me so it wasn’t a total solo. He was really excited. We sang Come Thou Fount in Spanish. We both sang some of it solo and the rest harmony. It was so much fun. I honestly did enjoy it. I had had a rough week and the compliments that we received really helped me feel good. I’m really grateful for all of them that did that because it really felt nice... Thank you so much Mom for everything. I wouldn’t be able to do this without your support. You are one of the biggest blessings of my life. I really mean that. Thank you for always being there. Make sure to help Jayce feel how I have felt, like the most special kid on the planet earth. It has helped me so so much and know he needs that, as well as Bec and Pres. I love you all so much. The Lord is taking care of me. If you would like to pray for something specific this week, it would be that I would be able to do all I do with LOVE. I love you all and am so thankful to be part of our awesome family. Love Elder Tilley
