Tanner knows

For those who don't know Joe's brother Tanner is on a mission for our church. He is in Vina del Mar Chile and is scheduled to return home in March. Since there had not been a whole lot of change to report to Tanner we hadn't told him. But last night we felt it was time to let him know. So late last night we got a hold of Tanner's mission president who said he would have Tanner call us this morning. So this morning Chelsea and I skyped and just told him about the happenings of the last few days. There were moments of laughter and moments of tears. I wanted so bad to be able to hug my little girl so far away in Idaho and my little boy even further away in Chile. I hoped for a mom somewhere in that foreign land who would do just that - hug my boy.

Tanner would love to hear from anyone. He asked me to have everyone who would like to write to him either respond to this message or email me at klapplegate@gmail.com. I will put them in one word document so he can print them off and read them on his free time. Chels can be reached on Facebook or at chelseasapplegate@gmail.com. Thanks to all.
