Today’s the Big Day

DSCN0937[3]

Right now as I type this, my parents are in an airplane, somewhere over the ocean, winging their way to the U.S. of A. In less than 12 hours we will see them face to face. We are all so excited we can barely stand it! We’ve been waiting for this day for 18 months.

My parents have served an honorable mission. They have worked tirelessly and with so much dedication and love. I know their freely-given service has blessed the lives of many in New Zealand (I’m sad for those whom they will leave behind); also our lives at home have been blessed in many ways by their missionary service.

One of the greatest blessing I enjoy in this life is the love of these two amazing people.

I can’t wait to see them!

Missionary family members coming home are among life's sweetest blessings.

So happy for you - I know how much you've missed them! Do you think your mom still cheats at Canasta?

You've already seen them by now. Can't wait to hear all about it and see pictures of this emotional moment.
