Kody Brown got a special note from a loved one.
As the Sister Wives star continues to push himself beyond his limits on season four Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, he’s had wife Robyn Brown and their kids Dayton, 25, Aurora, 23, Breanna, 21, Solomon, 14, and Ariella, 9, cheering him on from afar. And in E! News’ exclusive look at the Nov. 13 episode of the Fox series, Kody is about to catch a glimpse at her support—causing hm to get emotional.
"Hi handsome," Robyn, 47, begins in a video message to Kody. "I'm sure you're charming everyone and making friends and just impressing everyone with what you can pull off and what you can do."
She continues, "Please know the kids and I are praying for you every day and sending you light and love."
As for how her message boosts him as he and remaining contestants Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia, Gia Giudice, Randall Cobb, Shawn Johnson East and Andrew East strive to see who will be the last recruits standing, that remains to be seen.
However, as their grueling journey continues for the remaining six, they are treated to video messages from home—only after, according to Fox, completing an extraction mission that involves being split into teams and carrying tires, ropes and chains up a mountain.
Though Robyn and her kids with Kody are backing the patriarch throughout his mission, he previously detailed his fractured relationships with many of his 18 kids on the show.
The former polygamist—who also shares kids with exes Meri Brown, Janelle Brown and Christine Brown—tearfully admitted he needed to take some accountability for the way his family was divided.
"I'm the discrepancy," said Kody, 56. "I should have had a strong relationship with my children."
He signaled he was willing to make the sacrifices necessary to love his whole blended family.
"I would like to repair all the relationships with my family and even my ex-wives," he acknowledged in a confessional, "and that’s not easy."
Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test airs Thursdays on Fox. With Kody vowing on the show to repair his fraught family dynamic, keep reading for a closer look at the entire extended Sister Wives crew…
