July 3 - Cade calling from Airport - Video

Here is a video of us talking to Cade when he called us from the airport.  We were able to talk to him for 30 mins.  This is only a part of the conversion.  It was so good to hear his voice.

Mother,

I am glad I made my father cry!  And, I know I thought that I would be a lot more homesick!  My last 7 hour class was today and tomorrow is my P-day.  I really don't mind cooking for myself, so that won't matter.  Wednesday, I would love to talk to my father!  I am excited to talk to you guys!  I am losing weight already, so that's a good thing.  I will be way skinny when I get out of my mission!  I am definitely won't be wearing my suit coat.  It's fetchin' hot out here in Provo.  I hope you guys have fun for the 4th.  it sucks there won't be fireworks that you guys can light off!!  I will be watching the big nice fireworks, and you guys will be just stuck with Magna fireworks!  I love you Mom.  I will be sending my SD card on the next letter.

Love, Elder Cade Lundberg

Another letter we got with his SD card:

Mom,

Here is the SD card.  I hope you enjoy these pics.  I think they are good & funny.  I Love you guys!

Love, Elder Lundberg

Mother,

I am so glad my letters mean alot to you guys!  Dad's letter should be there by now.  Tell Caleb to top my $200 paycheck!  If he listens to me, he will become who God wants him to be.  We are on the 11;26 flight.  I hope my brace is new.  I need a new dadgum one.  Gracious!  I will send my pics on Monday!  And, yes, he saw me at the broadcast thing (Nick).  He was so excited.  You enjoy church.  Go with a question that needs to be answered and say a pryaer before to help you get that answer, and it will change your outlook on church.  I love you guys to death.  God Speed.
