I'm grateful for good nights' rests and for bright mornings that allow us to start a new day. Things feel better. Life feels new again. Ironically, I am a night person, but it doesn't do my emotions good.

Emily & I have shared a few tears over the weekend...at odd moments. Which is what happens when you miss someone. But I am so happy that my parents have this opportunity. It's a new day for them in their lives. Their chance to give & to serve--which they are so good at already. It's a new day for us too -- to experience missionary work from the "sending away" part, to share in their experiences, and to prepare for Jeremy's mission (which will be in 1 year!!).
Grandkids had to have a picture
with their missionaries!

Because a member family was brave enough to share...
Because a sister missionary was wise enough to knock...
Because good ward members were kind enough to invite...
Because an Elder's Quorum president & 2 elders were bold enough to visit...
We are a testament of Member Missionary work.
The gospel brought a "new day" into our lives.
All 4 of us have a testimony of Jesus Christ.
All 4 of us have served the Lord through our missions. (all 4 of us left in October too!)
All 4 of us have been sealed to our families in the temple for eternity.
All 4 of us love each other and Jesus Christ.
We have so much to be grateful for.
