April 12th is the day! Austin will be the first speaker at church that day. He will be speaking with a returning missionary - Karl Palmer. I have to admit that last Sunday I stole a peak at Austin sitting there all missionary-like, and I found myself suddenly looking through a thick layer of water. You know, the kind of water that quickly flows to the surface of the eyes in all members of the elite AEC (Artesian Eye Club). You got it. Tears. Yep. But I controlled it. They went away just as quickly as they arrived.
It will only be a couple more weeks, then he won't be missionary-like anymore. He'll BE a missionary. And for that I am truly pleased.
We'd love to see all our family at church next Sunday. Starts at 9:00. You'll recognize me. I'll be the smiling mom with tears brimming in my eyes. :)

Wow, this has come so fast. I know sending off the second missionary is not any easier. I am so sad we can't be there for his talk. Will we get to see him before he goes into the MTC?
We are planning on going to the Salt Lake temple on Tuesday before he goes in. We would love everybody to join us. I'll have to let you know what session we are going to attend. Does it matter to you? Anyone?
