Oh how I love this boy of mine!! I am so proud of him and all he has worked through during these last two years. First to Mexico City for 7 months, then home for 3 months, then to Florida for 8 months, then back to Mexico for the last 6 months of his mission! He has shown grit, perseverance and has fought through sickness, lock downs and having to find ways to serve all on his own. He has proven to Heavenly Father through it all that his testimony is stronger than any trials that might be placed in his way. Well Done Blake (Elder Markham)! I will see you next Week!
Dear Elder Blake,
I hope you still get to read this. I knew you were going to the pyramids today, so I hoped you would get a chance to read emails when you got back later.
It's time. You have served well and have done everything Heavenly Father has asked you to do. 
Through all the turmoil this past 18 months has caused, you never complained and fulfilled your responsibility as a missionary with hard work, dignity and perseverance. You can be proud of all that you have accomplished. You went above and beyond in trying to find ways to serve, even though road blocks were thrown in your way. I am so proud of you, and I know Heavenly Father is as well. The people of Mexico have been blessed so greatly because of your service to them. They will miss you but will always remember the blessings that you brought to them.
Good luck through this final week as you end another chapter in your book. You have been, and will continue to be a good leader when you come home. JJ and your younger siblings are counting on you.
I can't wait to give you a big hug to welcome you home! Well done Blake!!
Love Forever,
Momma
