Missionary Monday....4 More To Go...

 

I cannot believe we have only 4 more Monday's before he is home!!

I realized late last night...that it was exactly one month until our Missionary Boy completes his missionary service. I have such mixed emotions...We are ready to have him back... but it has been an amazing experience to have a child serve a mission. His service has blessed our family!

 

A very special baptism..

Missionary Update...

 

The Missionary Boy sent us a few photos last week...

I say, we NEVER tire of pictures of him

!

 

He loves his area...and he loves his companion!

He is having so many wonderful experiences and has grown so much!

 

 

He recently had the opportunity to travel to the adjoining mission for a special conference with Elder Ballard. He sure was happy to have that experience.

 

This is a special family that he and Elder Jones have become close to. He mentioned when he wrote, that the pictures might be blurry...because the Sister who was taking the picture began to cry as she saw her son in the middle of two missionaries;) I thought that was sweet...

and the pictures were a little blurry!;)

Missionary Thursday....;)

 

It seems that most any day is missionary day, around here!

 And I like it! If it isn't our own Missionary Boy...it is the local missionaries which we

 love very much! In fact, Tuesday our local missionaries joined us for lunch.

 They came to our office where we had planned to have lunch...and noticed right

away that I was not having a great day;)....it happens now and again...anyway,

like they often do, they asked how they could help, I thanked them for being

so thoughtful and assures them that I would be just fine;)

 They ate their lunch...and as they were leaving they came and asked if they could

share a scripture that they were just sure would be helpful.

They went on to read...discuss...and share a much needed laugh, through an unfortunate

story in the scriptures! Oh those missionaries can be creative!;)...

Really it was a thought that was so special.

The missionaries are constantly in our home, for one thing or another...

and we are grateful for them and the great spirit they bring to our home!

Also, a treat this week...pictures from the Missionary Boy!!

He had the opportunity to sit at the feet of a prophet in a very historic place in England.

Hyde Park. M. Russell Ballard make unexpected trip to England,

and The Missionary Boy was blessed to be there.

The above picture is of The Missionary Boy and Pres. Judd, his current Stake President,

who just happened to go to school and play basketball with The Farmer.

  Isn't that fun??!!

 

 

This is Elder Jones and Elder Jones (from Switzerland)

The Missionary Boy thinks he is alot alike a very dear friend of his from home;)

 

 

This photo is titled..."Family Portrait"

It is the missionary he trained...and the others who have been

trained through his "family line."

 

A fun sister who knows family in Mesa...

Missionary Monday...And...A Transfer...

 

The Missionary Boy just finished his time in Peckham...

He is now in a town called Staines.

He is with Elder Jones from Switzerland.

The Elders Jones are really enjoying each other!

This could possibly be The Missionary Boy's last area....

WOW!!!
