Mom and Dad,

It's great to hear from you as always! It sounds like it was an eventful one. I'm glad Kel had a great birthday and that you have all been able to enjoy Memorial day.

It's really hard to see that Adam is going through a very difficult time in his life and to be in a different country, surprisingly close but still very far away. I will keep trying to email and encourage him as much as I can from here and of course, he will be in my prayers.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! We didn't do much on my actual birthday but today my trainer Elder Trejo invited us out to a great seafood place and then took us to a members house where they had baked a whole host of things. It was really fantastic. I really felt the love from the time and effort he put into everything and it was awesome to see him again and hear how he is doing.

Dad, when I read about the symphony I laughed out loud. I remember the last commissioned piece that we went to and it was disappointing as well. What a relief that they will never be able to forget the greats. Rachmaninoff's story really is a motivational one.

Unfortunately, that's all I have time for this week. I will never look at time the same again, the hours fly by here.

I hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to hearing from you next week.

Love,

Isaac
