Mother's Day Skype

     We had a lovely visit with Sister Lybbert on Skype yesterday. I love technology! As a kid, this would have been believable only on Star Trek. As a result of our visit yesterday, her email today was very short. I will include it but I thought I'd add a little.
     Sister Lybbert is doing well. She looks amazing and in some ways, has picked up a funny little accent, not much though. She has only been in her new area (Harrogate) for 5 days. Her companion is from Hungary. She told us her name but I don't remember it. She said that Harrogate is absolutely beautiful. She said it is what she pictured England to look like. She is happy and healthy and working hard.
      It is so strange to think she's been out for almost a year! Time has flown by for her and for us. She's trying to figure out what to do for schooling. She and Sister Monroe have become very close friends and because of that, she would like to go to BYU Provo, but she also is debating whether or not to finish her Photography Technology at N.A.I.T. or to do a business degree somewhere (the U of L was mentioned too). In other words, she is having the same trouble deciding as 90% of her peers. I told her she has time to figure it out. She loves being a missionary. She loves the people and loves the gospel.
   Sister Lybbert sang us a song in German that she had promised to sing last time but ran out of time. We asked her what it said and all she knew was that it had something about "birthday" in it. She also spoke some Italian. She didn't know what it meant really, but she did say she can pray in Italian. She does a great impression of a Scottish accent as well. Scott, our son-in-law, whose mother is Scottish, was here at Christmas when Sis. Lybbert Skyped, and said her accent was pretty good!

I told you it was beautiful!

Here is what she wrote this week:
Dear Family,
It was so good to see you yesterday! I have the best parents and brothers and sisters and brothers-in-law in the whole wide world. Thanks Brandon, for making me breakfast too. ;)
I don't really know what to say today other than that I love you and am so proud of all of you. Ash, Josh and Kyler are getting SO big I can hardly believe it and looking as classy as ever. Ciana, I need grad photos asap too. I cannot believe this is the week of grad! WHAT?!
It is nice and rainy here. I like being not so far north because it isn't cold when it rains now. I don't need to bundle up quite as much.
I really love reading through Moroni 10 a couple of days ago. I wrote down everything that Moroni exhorts us to do. At first, I thought it would just be to read and pray about the Book of Mormon, but he actually exhorts us to do seven things. So, I challenge you all to also go through and write down those seven things. It is powerful.
You are wonderful and I love your guts and goo.
And shout out to Cameron! I love you, don't forget your Lysie!!
Love,
Sister Lybbert :)
