This is undoubtably the hardest part of leaving, saying Goodbye to our Beloved Family! We have told our family several times how much we appreciate their encouragement these past few months, they have not held us back as we have prepared to serve a mission, but have helped us go forward. We feel very fortunate and grateful to have these children and grandchildren to call our own!
Although there are tears of sorrow at parting, there is also encouragement, smiles, and support given by the bucktful, from all. We are all going to share in this mission experience together, and we pray that it will be a year of blessings for all of us ---
The five men in the back have already served missions --- they all just smile at me when I talk about being nervous to leave and go on a mission. We look forward to the time when the three boys in the front get to serve.
We will miss these precious little ones, and pray for Gods choicest blessings to be upon them.
Nice family. Blessings will adorn their lives because you serve. So happy for you.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. You have very special children. Haha. Love you guys lots. I'm so glad we had these pictures taken. They are very tender. Loved your thought about looking forward to when the three boys in the front serve missions. I do too. Thanks for your example to them.
