This is our last week in the Mission. Hard to believe it is almost gone.
We have loved being here. It has brought great opportunities into our lives. We have met some great people. Our Bishop is a great person who really makes you think about your life. Our Primary chorister brings more enthusiasm into a room than anyone I have ever met. Our Mission President and his wife are really kind and great teachers. The people we work with have been great. Serena who is our supervisor has taught us patience
, how to be kind, and loving. She is the most gentle person we have ever met. She would do anything for anyone including her family.We have had our tesitmonies increase greatly. The Lord has blest us beyond our wildest dream. We have had a lot happen in our family in a years time.
We are excited to go home and meet new Grandchildren, and spend some time with our new daughter-in-law. And with the rest of our family. We have great plans for our yard.
We thank our children who have helped this mission happen, and have been the biggest support system we could imagine. W
e love each of you, and can't wait to see you. We will be home in a few weeks with Hailey and Braxton.We went to the College World Series of Baseball. We also saw the worlds largest ball of stamps at Boys town. Boys town is a really neat place. They do a lot of good for boys and girls who need help. Enjoy your week. See you soon.

I'm glad you have big plans for your yard because I left plenty for you to do! :)
Your mission has been a blessing not just to you, but to us all. You are such an example and we love you! Can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks.
Drive safely and do not get lost in Tennessee. We are looking forward to having you at our home in the very near future.
It'll be great having you guys back!
Yes, Heidi can't wait to actually spend time with her in-laws. Plus, James will be happy to have his grandparents in town. We love you and can't wait to see you.
I am VERY excited to have you both around. I love your family and can't wait to spend more time with everyone. Thanks so much for serving such an honorable mission. I'm certain that our marriage was a blessing of your willingness to serve. Love you.
I get teary-eyed just reading that this is your last post! I am so grateful you have had this wonderful opportunity and know you have done SO MUCH with your time there. I was listing off all you do every week (temple shifts, piano lessons, cub scouts) in addition to the hard labor, and it makes ME tired! :) I love you both and can't wait for you to return soon! (Austin looks forward to a Grandma who wants to hold him. ;)
We are so proud of all your hard work. We loved talking to our girls about how their Grandma and Grandpa sacrificed so much to serve Heavenly Father on a mission. We are so excited to see you. We love, love, love you! (Just remember that our middle child shows her love and affection by not looking at you and sitting on her mommy's lap!)

You probably don't know what an inspiration you are even to those out of your family. I would peek in occassionally on your site from denise's link because you are exactly where Steve and I hope to be as soon as he finnishes his work committment(4 or so years). It was a joy to see how you were blessing lives in the mission field! You are so fortunate to see adorable little Austin as well as that whole family while still on your mission! I had made arrangements to come for his blessing, but Paul and Denise said "No". But I caught up on my hugs for that little snug bug when I first arrived at the Brown family for reunion. Steve and I both agree that you look much like a co-Temple worker here in Seattle--I just want to walk up to her and call her Sylvia. You guys are a great example!
