Mother's Day Phone Call and Monday Letter
Elder Mulks called home for Mother's Day on Sunday evening about 4:30 - we were so thrilled to get to talk for over an hour and a half! Since we have grandma living with us, she also got to say hello to her grandson!
We learned that Elder Mulks will most likely be coming home at the end of his mission around September 22 - this happens to be the anniversary date for Mike and Weslene being sealed in the Seattle Temple - 1987!
The plan is to come home, be released from his mission - probably speak in Sacrament on the 25th and the following weekend go to General Conference in SLC and to the mission reunion - visit a few temples and come back to Lacey. Billy is looking forward to seeing all his Aunties, Uncles, Cousins and friends.
Education plans are to live at home, attend local college to get grades and such in order to attend a University in the future - hopefully BYU!
Elder Mulks is still having back and neck pains but not letting it stop the work. Billy has asked for prayers that the missionaries can find those who are ready to hear the gospel. Elder Mulks has a strong desire to teach and baptize! He would love to hear from everyone - please write him at:
Elder William W. Mulks
556 Clay Road
Spencer, WV 25276
Here's the weekly Monday email:
Hey Mom!
As you know things are still going good! I loved talking with you, dad, and g-ma!
I LOVE THE SCRIPTURES! (In our phone conversation last evening, Billy and I shared some scriptures with each other)
LoL. Cool, tell Pres. & Sister Coppin thanks thanks for thinking of me and asking about my homecoming.
Cool, I'll be sure to tell the mission office when the time comes that I'll be flying home to SeaTac. That'll be awesome to go to SLC for conference and mission reunion and to the SLC Temple!!
Hehe, no problem - you didn't get me off track. Thanks for your prayers - to find those who are waiting!
Yea, no kidding! Good you and dad found a decent movie to watch! I've heard that the movie "Tron" was really good. Very decent, no cursing, nudidy, etc... I think it's even done by disney, actually...
Thank YOU for ordering me some white short sleeved shirts!!! It says 'ship to home,' so does that mean that it'll come to the appartment? or do i have to pick it up? Not sure...
I love you!

Happy May Day
Hey Mom, Dad and Grandma,
Things are going great for us here too. Weather has finally calmed down a little bit (knock on wood). We've been teaching quite a bit more than we have been. It's great!
Cool that dad and grandma arrived safely from Utah!
LOL - even though you said it's good to plant seeds - I want to harvest seeds! LOL
Hehe, I thought the photo I sent would make your day! Elder P. is 6'6"!
Time out for Women sounds like a blast! I love the song "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" (Mercy River sang at TOFW)
Really?!?! - You ate lunch at Wolfgang Puck's? I saw one when I was in Japan - not sure if I ever told you that...It looked really good, but expensive.
Heh, yea, that is the best when you feel the prompting of the spirit to bare your testimony. I love that! I didn't get to bear my testimony this week, but there were a lot of people who normally didn't that did. So it was really cool!
Wow - that is so cool that Austin bore his testimony and felt the depression and anxiety lifted from him during Youth Conference. Yea, I bet everyone was expecting to hear from Bridey - hope he's feeling better real soon!
Sweet! The Army Band concert you and grandma went to sounds fantastic!! That's neat you saw some of my friends - I've received a a few letters recently from them.
Yay! Next Sunday is Mother's Day! Looking forward to talking to you too!
I can't remember if you're on the morning block or afternoon. I'll just call you in the evening (6 or 7 my time).
Alrighty, That's about it!
Love Ya,
Elder Mulks

Elder Bennion had a good talk, but sis bennion was.... HE was a patriarch before being called on a mission! I didn't know that was possable!
* I got your other email, and yes i remember richard! He's pretty funny. He's Spencer's brother. Only time i saw him was at seminary. (Richard was on splits with local Elders)
* Yea, Easter at church was great. And our investigators are doing great! They got to church even with all the storms we've been getting.
* If the missionaries didn't love the pulled pork, there would be something wrong with them! LoL
* Cool. Sounds like your sacrament meeting was really nice!
* Our Sunday School lesson was the next one, "the blind to see". It was good too.
* Cool, I'll pray for dad and g-ma to have safe travels! I can imagine it was hard for g-ma to say goodbye, it's alot like that when I leave an area, i just hate to say goodbye to the members that i got to know.
* Ooooh...ouch! (mom's IV for eye surgery) Hehe, man, that's nuts! Hehe, that's good that she was at least trying to get your attention off the needles. I wouldn't be able to be awake for that kind of surgery! *shiver* that's just creepy!
* Yea, i haven't had any worries at all about the surgery. I just felt that all would be as it should be. I feel your prayers always as well. Thank you!
* Heh, nope. No one to feed us on easter. But we are grateful for the members who do sacrifice to help us and feed us when they can. But your dnner sounds SO GOOD!!! LoL. Thanks for the goodies too! They were so GOOD! I love those white chocolate eggs!
* Yeam i don't blame you for laying low as you get better! It's great to see how much suppot you get from friends and family!(flowers from my Sister, Roxann and my RS Pres, cards and gifts from friends, etc.)
* I'm not 'trunky' but when i get ready to go home, i'll be ready. (I asked Billy if he was getting trunky about coming home)
* Hehehe, i love john bytheway! I have a ton of talks by him! Fun!! Say hi to auntie moo for me! (my sister, Myrna bought me a ticket to "Time out for Women" this weekend)
* That'd be cool if you get to go to the concert at River Ridge with the Military band!

FIVE MONTHS TO GO!!!
Hey Mom & Dad!
Things are going great! The weather has been pretty stable. But i hear that it's gonna reach the 100's this week!!!*groan* We've been able to find a couple of investigators this week and doing lots of finding.
* Sounds really cool the two concerts you attended!
* Wow, nope, no tornadoes around me...scary for the places that were hit!
* Heh, i left those packages you just received with elder w. in C-burg because i didn't have time to mail them before i left. It looks like he got them off later than i expected...lol.
* Wow, that is a crazy week for you and your eye surgery on Wednesday! You know that i"m praying for ya! There have been a few people here that have gone through the same surgery that you are going to have and they said that it's no problem. It just takes time to get used to.
* one healthy thing after the other for you! I thought that i had some wheat allergies for a bit, but my body just got tired of the cerial that i was eating. It scared me for a bit, i love wheat!
* Hehe, i bet the missionaries loved your meal! I love and miss your pulled pork! Wow, that's really cool that the one Elder decided to go on his mission, he'll be all the stronger for it!
* HAHAHA! That sounds like one of the talks from a couple of confereces ago, Elder Eyring i think...
* Cool. Hope everything goes well with G'Mas move to Lacey.
* SWEET! Thanks for finding the drink bottle. I'll try to send some pictures...lol.
Well, that's about all that i got this week!
