Our New Years Eve plans were halted until we received a call from MIB. He was into his first day of 2010 while we were still in 2009. He had much to tell us about the future : )
We had a great conversation with him – it was great to get to hear from him! He has been in Inayauan for the last couple of transfers. It’s a bit more remote than his last area (see the map). He is enjoying it and is really immersed in the work. He sounds wo
nderful. Only 9-1/2 months left! WOW!!
Last week we were up north and able to visit our old ward/church. We’ve only been gone for 6 months, and yet I could see some real changes in the children there. Many of
them seemed so much more mature. It’s amazing that while you are right there among them, it’s hard to see the transition. Yet, when you leave for even a short time, the changes are so significant! It was like being with family to be back in our old ward and visiting with old friends. You truly are wonderful people!
It scares me, just a little, to imagine the transition that MIB is making in the mission field. When he left, I considered how much his younger siblings would change in his eyes. They have changed so much already, just as I k
now he has too. I know that Hubby has changed a lot, at least physically, since he has left. He comments on those changes alrea
dy. We never seem to see our own changes. Have I changed since he left? I wonder if I’ll seem changed to him. Who knows – just have to hope that the changes are for the better!
I have to admit that I’ve been hording some photos MIB sent. I have been enjoying these pictures and have yet to share them. So… here they are. Enjoy!

What some amazing pictures! It looks like he is enjoying his mission. You wouldn't with some views like that? It was so good to you you guys! We have missed Sara a great deal in YW! Our family will be coming to St. George sometime this spring to stay with my grandparents (They live in Bloomington Hills). I would love to go to lunch or something with you and Sara, while I am there. I will let you know as it gets closer!
Ginger,
looks like the mission is going great, what experiences he is having and yes, those views are amazing aren't they?! Hope you and your family are doing good.
9 1/2 months?!? That's insane! My whole day yesterday was spent pondering time and children and changes so your post was very timely to me! Hope you are all doing great where you are, your boy looks so happy and his pics are beautiful!
You came up and didn't visit us??? I had no idea you were even here. I love the pictures of Mitch, he looks so happy. :)
