Elder Sanders



My little brother Shane has been serving his mission in Durant Oklahoma for the last five weeks. Durant is less than an hour from us and Michael is there quite often for work. It is against the rules for us to go and visit him, so we have made no effort to. When Michael and his co-worker were finished at the heart clinic today, they went to Chili's for a late lunch (it was about 2:30pm). Someone came up behind him and said "fancy seeing you here". We were a little disappointed that he wasn't in his shirt, tie, and name tag for the picture, but he had just been helping a member building a shed and the member took them to lunch. They had a nice visit then it was back to work.

Wow, Shane looks so grown up. I guess I still think of him being ten or so. And where's that missionary tag??

We saw the picture and said Uh-Oh. Wow---the odds. How fun!! I bet you're so sad that you weren't there too!!!

You can almost feel what they were feeling just by looking at Shanes face. Total elation (pathological euphoria).It's fun just to imagine it. It would have been hard to part. We are all so envious Michael. Do you feel any guilt? Mom & Dad S.

Aw, Michael is so lucky. What a good picture. That town must be super small to run into each other like that. Can't wait to see you guys at Thanksgiving!
