Last night I received a text with a picture of Reid, his companion and the district leader, Elder Mena. They were out to eat at a Chinese restaurant. It was a lovely surprise!
I asked who sent it and the reply was President and Sister Garfield. (Not the mission pres.) I thanked her for the picture because Reid is such a terrible picture taker. I have wanted a pic of Elder Jones for several weeks now.

Sister Garfield sent me another text with this picture and said, "Remember this from almost exactly a year ago?? Same restaurant, same table, same corner table, same overhanging tree! ...same us...same cute Elder...(different companions)." Of course I remembered it! I can't believe she still had it on her phone.
About a 1/2 hour after the first exchange I received another text and picture from Sister Garfield.
"Elder Taylor just shared a powerful and tender testimony with us from Helaman 10:4-5. He has continued to mature spiritually in the year since we last visited. You can be even more proud of him. It was too sacred a moment to snap the picture I wanted you to see him teaching from his open scriptures. Here he is just after the closing prayer. We sure do love him and are grateful you've shared him with us."
I have been so touched by Sister Garfield's love for my boy and will be forever grateful for her pictures and texts.
