Alden's Graduation and Grandpa's funeral May 31 2010

We don’t have a lot planned for today, earlier we went to the bank to take out money for he last time. Wow, it still hasn’t hit that I am ending my time here. We are then going to do something but have not planned out what we will do.

Give my congratulations to Alden for getting a white tassel. I hope you had a great graduation. Sounds like you had a great party, and a great lunch, thanks for making me hungry.

Well I have to tell you it sucks to hear about grandpa. (sorry for the word) I think you made the right choice to tell me in writing. The news hit hard at first but thanks to all the things I have been able to learn and teach here in the mission I know that he is in a much better place where he is now resting from all his troubles and worries. I understand the big picture or the great plan that God has given to us to know that he is a lot better off now. He is a lot happier now. I have always liked Alma 40:12, Grandpa is now in that place that one day we all will want to go. Send lots of love to Grandma from me please. Tell her that she is in my prayers.

Graduation and funeral is over so what could be the next event that you are looking forward to? You got me stumped there.

Well all here is just great,
Love you all a ton,
Elder Hyde
