Elder Murri,
Here is your flight information. You have been such a wonderful missionary and we sure hate to see you go. Please forward this information on to your family. We love you for all your wonderful service to the Lord.

I like how he said, "It's happening. Wo." Yes, it is happening ... the attachment he forwarded are his flight plans. He arrives in SLC from London at 7:16 pm on Oct 16th !
We will be hearing him speak about his experiences in our church building (7250 N Porters Crossing Parkway, Eagle Mountain UT 84005) on Oct 30th at 10:30 am. All are welcome to attend. He will be speaking during our ward's Sacrament Meeting ... usually about an hour and 20 minutes.
I feel like I would like to share a few items that he sent to his Mom for her Birthday. He sent this to his Mom, "...happy birthday!!! :) ️️️️I hope that it's been the best one yet. :)... Thanks for being my mom. I was listening to a couple of ladies talk about their kids and their lives and their kid's lives on the bus today (people are really open on the bus here), and it was just really sad to listen to. I came in halfway through the conversation and they were saying something about how someone had had a baby and how the other party weren't willing to take care of it ... and how they were complaining about taking care of the kid, and how it was stressing the lady out, and it just didn't sound like the kid was actually enjoying being a kid. And the parents weren't enjoying being parents either. Thanks for letting me enjoy being a kid. And for helping me become who I am today. Even though I'm still imperfect. I think that I'm gonna be pretty hard-pressed to find a wife whose as good of a mom as you are to me. (That's why I have you, because if the day comes where I do find one -- and that is if -- she more than likely won't be interested in me. All I've gotta do is introduce her to you and then she'll marry me because she'll understand that you are the best mom in the world ... (I've got it all figured out.) (heh.)
From the deepest reaches of my heart, I look up to you. You're my spiritual example. I don't think that I've ever met anyone else who has as much charity as you have. Moroni, and Paul both tell us that "charity is the greatest of all", and "charity never faileth, and that "whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with [her]." I think that you'll be fine in that day. Moroni goes on to say that the reason that people with charity will be fine is because they'll recognise the Son of God "as he is", because "[they] shall be like him". You're well on your way there. Thank you for paying such a high price to be where you are spiritually, so that you can be my example. You're more people's examples as well, but you're a special one to me.
I love you. ️ ".
What a tribute to his Mom. I could not pass up posting this.
Now, Jed also has a 'fun' side. He had a family sing (in the wonderful English accent) Happy Birthday to his Mom - view the video here.
