Morning Of

The morning of a missionary's departure seems to feel the same for our family.
There is always a sweet spirit in our home.  It is extra quiet as everyone goes about the morning wrapped in their own thoughts.
The blessings have been given, the tears have fallen the night before and they will definitely fall again as we approach that MTC driveway.  It's so bitter sweet
Ty is off to teach and preach and work as missionaries do.  I pray with all of my heart for him.  I pray he will learn he is wonderful and that Heavenly Father can use him to humbly teach the people of Missouri.   He will grow in so many ways.
  This mission has been a challenge so far.  He has served for 3 months of it in Eagle Mountain and Lehi.  He has had his patience
tried waiting at home for a month to return to his labor.
He has been called, set apart, released, called and set apart.
How extra sweet that release will be in 21 months.
I love my Ty.   I will miss him with all of my heart.
God be with you Elder Soutas!
