1 Year

One year ago April 22nd we dropped our oldest son off in Provo, Utah at the Missionary Training Center for him to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He was called to serve in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania mission. He stayed at the MTC for 2 weeks and then flew to Philly and served in Northern Philly until mid July. From there he transfered to Scranton (home of the Office tv show) and served until the first part of January. He then transfered back to Philly to the Southern part and the last week or two has been helping out in the western part of Philly with some African people. He loves Philly and the city and is so happy to be back there. He said he was hoping to someday see the stadiums because he is a sports nut and one day walked up out of the subway and his dream had come true. They were all right there. I can't believe it has been a year already. The time has flown by and I think it is because I don't worry about him because I know where he is and what he is doing. I think this next year will go by even quicker.

That was a fast year....He looks so grown up. What a blessing he is to your family, and a awesome example for his siblings.
