PREPARING TO LEAVE...

As we begin to prepare to leave Springfield, MA and return to our home in Jax, FL. there are many emotions surfacing.  It has been so great to meet new brothers & sisters in Christ, that will remain forever friends and to serve our Savior side by side with them.  But, being so far away from our family and home has had been a challenge. I saw this picture not too long ago and it sorta' sums up what the past 18 months have meant to me.  Thankful God gave us the opportunity to serve Him...in a missionary capacity.

FEBRUARY & MARCH IN MARIETTA!

Just a few random shots from my 2 month with Adam, Jill & family.  Jill has done a fabulous job posting many on her blog...so scroll back to see her blog address, if you missed it.  A great time of just being part of their family!  Blessed to do so!
