One Year To Go

My mom and dad have been gone for 6 months. It has been very hard to have them away especially during the birth of Blake. We have missed them terribly, but their sacrifice and service to the Lord is so impressive. They have been able to teach a valuable lesson to us and our children through their example. The time has gone by a lot faster than during their mission in the Ukraine because of modern technology. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't see and talk to them on the computer via Skype. So, 6 months down and 1 year to go. It will be tough, but we get through it and it will not seem too long. Heavenly Father has blessed us and kept us strong while they have been away. We are so proud of you two and I just can't brag enough about you. We love you so much and we are counting the days.

I love the people here in Bermuda and love serving the Lord on a mission, but I'm counting the months until we can be with you again.
