Missionaries

On the way to Walmart today we passed by two little Missionaries bundled up in Coats. I pointed them out to Brighton and he said "Burr they cold". I said "yeah they probably are, but they are out looking for people to teach about our Church, did you know that? He said "uh huh". I turned around and looked at my boys and tears filled my eyes. I don't know if it's because I had a mental picture of my own boys out walking around in the cold, far away from home in 16-18 years, or if it was because I know the sacrifice those missionaries(and there families) are making to take such a wonderful and true message, to people who are searching for it. Either way it touch me. This is not the first time this has happened. In fact, every time I see Missionaries I start to cry , I guess that's how it is when you have little boys. I can't wait for my boys to be Missionaries. And I hope I can do what I need to prepare them now.

dido. what an important responsibility our little men have. many times jeremy and i have said it may have been part of the reason our boys took so long to get to us here on earth...they were being prepared for the missionary work they were meant to do here. now I'm tearing up.

You are such a good mom Marcie! Your boys are so lucky to have you as their mom. I'm sure they will both be great little missionaries! They are both so cute! I love your cute pics of them!

Noah says he doesn't want to be a missionary, so I only have one to worry about! Noah doesn't think he wants to be away from me for two years! If it wasn't for such an important cause, I wouldn't want him gone either!
It was fun to see your parents. Maybe next time I will get to see you too.
