We Love Missionaries

We had the missionaries over for dinner Sunday night. This was our first time, in part because Adam worked nights and in Utah there are so many more members for each set of missionaries. Anika and Celtin were so excited, Anika painted them each a picture. They were only at our house for about 1 hour but it was fun and made me very grateful for the service they provide. It also made me proud to think of my little brother who is currently serving in Canada. It makes me want to have them over more often in hopes that the members out in Canada do the same for him. They sure do seem young though, I can remember when I thought they looked old...15 years ago!

Hey Sis!

I am so glad the weather is warming up for you a bit. We had an early easter dinner at moms on sunday and will be having a dinner at dads on easter. Even with all of the people that come to dinner i sure can tell that you and your family are missing. I really miss seeing you all on a regular basis and every dinner really hits home how far away you are. I love you and miss you.

Love you,
Awnalisa
