Ridge Happy Birthday Love You so Much Dad
Dear Elder Bert (Easton), Happy birthday you are 21!!!! That’s crazy I’m also getting signed up for 7th grade isn’t that crazy I’m going to be a 7th grader!! I’m nervous but excited at the same time. It so weird!! Mom told us that you have like 6 months left almost 5 that’s crazy I’m so excited! Today in church about the doctrine of Christ which I recently learned is what missionaries most likely teach first so I thought I would share about what I learned to maybe help you. In 2Nephi 25:26 it states, 26. And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins. So this is what she said missionary’s share this scripture cause this is what we do as Mormons. They also ask us to read 3 nephi 11 32. And this is my doctrine, and it is the doctrine which the Father hath given unto me; and I bear record of the Father, and the Father beareth record of me, and the Holy Ghost beareth record of the Father and me; and I bear record that the Father commandeth all men, everywhere, to repent and believe in me. Dani
Dear Ridge, Happy 20th birthday! No longer a teenager! Hope you are doing great! Life here is going good. Makayla is going to have her second child soon. She is due April 1st. She is living in Texas so we will be going there when she has her. Hope your missionary work is going well! The church is true! We can find Peace in our Savior, Jesus Christ. Have a great day! Love you! Aunt Kari
So it’s so so weird that you aren’t going to be a teenager anymore. Sucker! 20 years old! Isn’t that just strange being so old and mature. Anyways I hope your birthday is special and fun! Just wanted you to know that I pray for you every day and the people of Costa Rica. I know how important they are to you now and I love you so much. I’ve gained much love for the people of Costa Rica because I have prayed for them and I hope they are treating you kindly. I know that Heavenly Father is proud of you and loves you so much. Keep goin strong and remember that you are special and you are important to so many people at home and in Costa Rica! I miss you and I hope you have a very happy birthday! Makale
Well I’m sure the birthdays on the mission are SO FUN(; but it is your birthday soon and you deserve to feel a little more special than any other day. I hope you’re doing well and things are going good for you. Miss you lots! Kam Wo
Elder Easton, happy birthday. We pray for you and know you were doing a great work. Your family is being blessed by your service. Sammi especially always wants to travel to Costa Rica to see you. Maybe someday we will show up. Carry-on the good work and come home with no regrets. Give everything You have. Love the Lehi Schlappi’s
scripture about Lehi (the prophet) complaining against the Lord (and I always wondered how he could complain against the Lord when he was a prophet!) came to my mind. I really know better than that, but for some reason I was worried and lacked faith. I knew better because I DO have a strong testimony of prayer because the Lord has ALWAYS blessed me and answered every one of my prayers because I had the faith and I asked him for help. I promise you that as you pray in faith, knowing that whatever happens is the Lord‘s will and that you trust Him completely, He will hear and answer every one of your prayers in His way, whatever is BEST for you. I know He loves you and He wants to bless you for your goodness. Just thought I would share that story with you and and my testimony of prayer and trusting in Heavenly Father completely. I love you Ridge! You are a very special young man and you have great things to accomplish in this world. I’m grateful to be your aunt and I look forward to watching where the Lord will take you. Have a wonderful week and a very happy birthday this Saturday! I love you so much..Aunt Tami
Well another year has passed. I can’t believe it’s so. Birthday time is upon you. Let’s see your not a teen anymore. Gee your getting old. Hope your twentieth is a great one for you.
Things are about the same around here. Staying in the house a lot because it is bitter cold and we have had a lot of snow lately. I don’t know how they are practicing baseball.
Maybe inside.
Looks like from the pictures you have sent that you are do some baptising. That’s great👍🏼😁 Keep up the good works. Take a deep breath and keep going. I know you must be very busy with all your responsibility. The lord loves you and wants you to succeed.
We love you too and are so excited for you. Take care until I write again. HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOUNG MAN OR ELDER Love 💕Grandma Easton
Good morning Elder Easton… it’s been a long time and I’m hoping this email finds you happy on your birthday. Life is good here in California. Our threesome is keeping busy and enjoying life. Brad and I just recently were called into the bishopric of the young single adult Ward here in our area. They’ve combined 4 Stakes so it’s a big group. We are loving serving together and Corrie loves having a whole new group of friends and parties throughout the week. I’m also teaching early morning Seminary and
get up at 4 a.m. so to be honest I’m always tired 🙂 but grateful to serve the Lord. There are many blessings that come with that, one being that it keeps us focused on the things that matter most and not distracted with what the world throws at us. You know Costa Rica is one of my favorite places, I wonder if you’ve come to feel that same way but at a much deeper level as you serve the people there. I know we don’t communicate much but I want you to know from the bottom of my heart how grateful I am for your example to your younger siblings and the joy you bring your parents. They have a lot on their plate and that joy from your service propels them forward. I pray that you’ll feel the Lord’s love for you on this special day as well as the love of your aunt Jules in California. If I had a son I would love him to be just like you. Happy birthday Ridge! Juls
Elder Easton, I hope all is well. You have a birthday coming up and we all want to wish you a great birthday. We love hearing how you are doing and are praying for you. Keep up the good work and press forward in faith serving and teaching those good people. Love you buddy Tyler

FAMILY BIRTHDAY WISHES
I love that Ridge is always making people laugh! He has the best sense of humor and people love to be around him because of it:) Brielle
Hey this is Easton🙂 happy birthday ridge!!🎉🎉 hope u have an awesome day!!🎊🎉
We’re are so blessed to have you in our family. I know the younger set looks up to their older cousin and brother (literally also!) You’re pass the “great kid” languauge and now your a “great man”. Where did the time go? Thanks for being so king and wonderful to your grandmother. “It is far better to build boys than to mend men.” President Thomas S. Monson. Love Ya and be happy. Grandma Schlappi
Ridge:Grandpa says happy birthday to a slugger-Your high school coach says maybe your not a slugger but I say you are. Big things start happening on this birthday and in the future. use the spirit and the Holy Ghost to help you be a slugger in the future. I love you Ridge and may god bless you. Grandpa Larry Schlappi
R. RESPONSIBLE. I know the oldest of the family has a great deal on their shoulders. Our Lindsay did a great job and I see the incredible blessing he is to his parents and siblings
I. IRRESISTIBLE . .. The ladies just can’t keep their eyes and hands off him! He’s Charming, athletic, smart, good looking, knows what he wants, fun, trustworthy, and many more of all the things that makes a real man.
D. DEPENDABLE… I know he’s a man of his word at home, at school, with his friends, and to the Lord.
G. Without GUILE….I know Ridge’s heart, he would never intentionally hurt someone for his own gain and his motives are pure.
E. Ridge has the power within to ELEVATE and lift others to be better people. I’ve seen it in his family circle and know it extends to his peers and will continue towards all the children of God in his sphere of influence the rest of his life.
Happy birthday Ridge, your aunt Juls loves you! Maybe you can go do something adventurous and crazy for your 18th birthday like Rylee and I did. We drove to Vegas, went to the top of the Stratosphere and rode all those terrifying rides. She absolutely loved it. .. Not sure I’ve ever been so scared. At least we did it, which is more than I can say for you uncle Todd and cousin Travis. They chickened out.
Julie Snell
My memory of ridge:
I love when Ridge and Colton come over and play cards with my family. It was the most entertaining thing to watch! Many of the countless arguments about Colton doing something stupid and Ridge laughing and making fun of him ended up on my snapchat stories.
Another memory I have with Ridge happened a way long ago, but we were driving home from the cabin and we gave Ridge a ride. It was just he and I sitting in the back seat and I remember just talking about life, goals, movies,
and what we wanted to do in the future. That hour long ride home meant the world to me because I was never a sports girl in our family and this was a time in my life when I didn’t feel like I fit into the social norm of our Schlappi family. Plus this conversation helped me get to know my cousin better, and I truly think that it was that conversation that made our relationship a lot better and I can say that now after many years of getting to know him, I consider him one of my closest cousins.
I just love that kid and I will always supportive him 100%! Anna
When I think of Ridge I think of how he’s not your typical teenage boy. I feel like he never went through that phase of being “too cool” to talk to you. He’s always been friendly, confident, and comfortable with me and other adults. I never remember him being self-absorbed and he’s always shown interest in others’ lives. He’s genuine, makes sacrifices for others, and is an incredibly caring older brother!

Brad
Ridge. I am thinking of you. I am traveling the East Coast but I realized someone is turning 18 tomorrow. We will celebrate with some nachos one of these days. You are a great man who brings so much to your amazing family. Happy Day and Thanks for being the incredible guy you are. Uncle Mike.

Happy birthday ridgeeeeeeyyy😘❤️ miss you!!! Haylie
I have so many memories of Ridge it’s hard to know where to start. A recent one was at at Line Peak football game. Away game. Can’t remember where. The whole Priest Quorum went. We were up at the top of the stands and Ridge showed up on his own 20 min or so after the game started. We all sat up at the top watching that kid work an entire bleacher section full of girls. Man that kid is smooth with the ladies. Rich Farr and I even pelted him with milk duds over and over again but he way way to focused being a ladies man. Ridge is a kid that walks in a room and instantly everyone in the room is happier and lighter than they were before. I also have very fond memories, memories sacred to me, of Ridge’s participation in Quorum meetings. Ridge never offers throw-away answers. He takes his testimony and his own personal spiritual journey very seriously. I can think of so many quorum meetings where Ridge’s willingness to be vulnerable let to significant spiritual experiences for the other young men, and for us old guys as well. God has blessed him with a personality that allows him to flow so freely between easy light-heartedness, and serious contemplation. He can step on any field or court and own whatever sport we’re playing without isolating those of us that are less athletically inclined. He is kind, respectful, humble, spiritual. He’s a great friend to all of us. I think my enduring image of Ridge will always be looking over at him during sacrament meeting when Jagger was a new baby. Seems Ridge always had him in his lap or on his hip or over his shoulder. Ridge is one of those guys that you look forward to watching as he enters all the crazy cool phases coming up in life. Whatever Ridge ends up doing, being, becoming…it’s going to be a pleasure to watch. Tell Ridge
Racer happy birthday for me. Tell him I love him. – Jeff Adams
Ridge was in lifetime activities and then he goes to seminary so I don’t know if I will see him at school.😕. I am just glad I have been able to get to know Ridge and Colton this year. I know we have been in the ward for 4 years but I haven’t gotten to know the youth well until I got the job at Lone Peak. I know I give him a hard time about being in the halls but he
is always working hard delivering things for the counseling office. He has such a positive and happy approach to life. He is friends with everyone. Happy birthday Ridge Jen…you really are doing an awesome job with your kids. My husband has had a couple of your kids in his primary class and is always saying what great kids they are. Lynn Combs

The AhMu Family loves their home teacher Ridge Easton. He shares his testimony with us every month. We can tell that he has a deep understanding and love of the gospel. The thoughts and ideas he shares are mature for his age and he is a good example to our family. We are excited to see what the future holds for Ridge. It is going to be great!!
I remember Ridge asking me a while back if he could start working out with me. People that ask me this question normally seem very interested until I tell them what time we’re gonna go workout. When I told Ridge to meet me at 4:30 am for the first workout, he looked at me with fire in his eyes and told me that he would be there. Most people crumble when I tell them to meet me at 4:30. That’s how Ridge has be
en as long as I’ve known him. He’s a fighter, someone that will never back down from a challenge. With everything he’ll encounter in life, he’ll look at it with the same look of fire he gave me, and he’ll get it done. It’s been a privilege for me to be associated with him, and the example he is to others is inspiring. Tyler Thompson

inDear Gage- Happy Birthday!
I am so grateful to take a moment to share my feelings, heart and love with you. What an honor and privilege it has been to raise you. you have been blessed to goodly parents, and siblings. People who love, admire and look to you for strength and courage. you have been blessed with many talents and righteous gifts. There are so many physical gifts but I want to recognize or mention spiritual gifts that far outweigh those of physical strength. You have such a huge HEART one that is driven, disciplined and obedient. Your work ethic reminds me so much of myself. Gage I pray for you that you will continue to believe and know that your heavenly father loves you has a plan for you and knows how to best prepare you to be a warrior for his gospel.
Already in such a young and tender age you have accomplished so much merely from hard work and perseverance. Don’t ever forget that even after all you can do you still place credit back to God the only who made it all possible to come to earth, have a body and give your experiences. Remember that God gives us challenges or struggles to see how we handle those situations. We have chosen to not get discouraged or give up but keep on trying and believing.. This is FAITH!
Your Dad and I talk about you so much. Your drive, and dedication, amazes your dad. Keep asking him to help you, this keeps him young and helps him feel loved and needed. He so enjoys your company and friendship.
As your Mom, I want you to know how much I love your dad. He is a good man, has a huge heart and is my best friend. I know I get on him sometimes but I don’t want your dad to
give upon himself. He knows how to self-correct and is a great father, a great example, a Disciple of Christ and you can go to him and trust him to always be there.
I wanted you to know that I have a testimony of God and the Savior. My testimony is so sacred to me and share it with you so that you may know what I believe in. If you ever get frustrated, lost scared, in trouble, know that Dad and I will be there for you and even more important your Heavenly Father will also. Gage continue to love to learn, see for knowledge. Knowledge is power and the only thing you take with you after life.
Continue to keep your body an mind active and healthy-enjoy developing your talents, hobbies, and gifts. Continue to ask questions, seek and find out everything about who you are and where you are going-The LORD has a personal plan for you.
Continue to be a good friend and example. People love you and you are so good at serving and helping others.
I hope you have a wonderful birthday. I love you so much-don’t grow up to fast, enjoy your childhood, it is going so fast. I look forward to your hugs each night. Thanks you for making effort..I know you are so tired.
Love you so much.
Happy Birthday Gage.
Mom
