Missing Clayton, Celebrating the 4th

Hey Mom,
Trek looks like super fun. I tried to not think too much about Clayton this past week, especially yesterday. I had to give a talk (they told us about it at 9 the night before...) Haha. I didn’t really want to talk about Clayton. However, later at night I was writing in my journal and my companion had gone to bed. I was listening to MoTab and Homeward Bound came on.  I just let myself think back to 6 years ago and that whole experience. I cried to myself about it all.  It is still hard for me and I feel like he is always going to seem like the older brother to me, even though I now have 4 more years than he did. Thinking about him last night really helped me think about how much I want to help families here.  In Mexico almost all the families are separated and just aren’t strong. So many single moms and dads drinking in the streets and doing drugs. I am so grateful for the family I have and the Gospel in our lives.

I hope you have a fun 4th of July.  I love the 4th. I am so glad this is the last 4th I have to miss!
I don’t hear anything about what is going on in the news. Gay marriage...bueno. well that much closer to Jesucristo coming. 
Love you mom. You are the best. I miss you tons, and even more today when trying to make decisions on a suit. Don’t worry.  It’s good looking. 
Love you!
-Elder Thomas
