Our Missionary is H O M E!!!


1 Now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men.
2 Therefore, O ye that embark in the a service
of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless
before God at the last day.
3 Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called
to the work;
4 For behold the field
is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store
that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul;
5 And faith
, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify
him for the work.
6 Remember faith virtue,
knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly love, kindness, godliness charity, humility, diligence.
7
Ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Amen.
Doctrine and Covenants Sec. 4

Chad arrived home last night after a long flight! We are so happy to have him home with us and are so proud of the man he is and the example he is to those around him. We are so thankful to have the gospel in our lives and are thankful for two young men 25 years ago who put their lives on hold to serve our lord, their selflessness has blessed our family in ways we can't fully understand. I know my brother has done that same act a sacrifice for the people of Sacramento California. We Love him and are so very Proud of him!

That's so wonderful. I'm so happy for you guys. Aaron is about to leave for his mission. I'm so glad he is going but we will miss him so much. I almost cried when I watched the video of your mom running to him at the airport. So cute and sweet. Have a great time having him home.
