We had so many amazing experiences over the last month getting ready for my in-laws to leave on their mission. Here are just some of the highlights:
The week of family fun-just being together.
All the time my boys got to spend with their cousins. They are still talking about when they will get to see them again.
The open house, where so many people came by to say goodbye
Mike's parents' talks in church. They are such amazing people and seriously, those missionaries are going to LOVE them.
Singing with the whole family in sacrament meeting. Well almost the whole family. Charlie chickened out at the last minute and sat with one of our favorite family friends while we sang. ;)
Getting to be there at the Church Office Building when Elder Nelson set them apart.
Being able to see the many ways the Lord blesses those who are willing to serve.
Getting up at five in the morning to see them off at the airport. And seeing how excited they all were to finally be going.
We've heard from them a number of times in the week that they've been gone. It sounds like they were quickly "broken in" to all of their responsibilities. But it also sounds like they aren't even breaking a sweat . . . well except for Bill trying to learn to use his cell phone. ;)

oh thanks for sharing. Sounds like the week of family fun was so cool, what a blessing to have family and get to spend time with them. Cousins were a vital part of my daughter's life, because we were only blessed with her and no brothers and sisters.
