We had the pleasure of sending off our first missionaries this morning. Joshua's Mother and Father, Jeanne and Myron Shepherd, have been called to serve in the Nashville, TN mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They'll be working with the Church's welfare program and employment services in a region covering parts of TN, MS, AK, KY with headquarters in Atlanta, GA. They stayed with us this weekend before reporting to the MTC this morning. The goodbyes were tearful, but well worth it for the opportunity they have to serve our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. How sweet the arrival home will be in 18 months.

I think that is fabulous! So sweet! Wade and I want to do that when we are older! If the world isn't over by then! ;) Just teasing!
18 months is all they serve? That will be a nice homecoming though since they are obviously so loved.
I didn't get a tearful goodbye, and I was moving away forever
;-P just teasin'
