30 hours from now
He'll be HOME!
It has been such a wonderful blessing having Jacob on his mission. We have seen so much growth in him through his emails and letters over the past 2 years.
Going on this mission has/will change his life forever.
It is not an easy task to set off, at the prime of your life - set aside all ambition, friends, education, entertainment, and life to dedicate 24 months to the Lord and his work. To do so voluntarily, with an eager heart - that is such an amazing thing!
But the blessings are tremendous and eternal. Jacob has been able to develop greater discipline, perseverance, compassion, dedication, selflessness, humility, determination, and reliance on the Lord. These are traits that will make him a wonderful husband, father, student, worker, Church member, neighbor and man.
So proud and so humbled to be the mother of a missionary.
