When Tim’s friends became missionaries, reality hit pretty hard for me. I missed them! It was such a sweet surprise to see them at our house this weekend for a few minutes, eating cookies and watching an MTC training video together. They are both completing their missionary training at home. They have a little free time, and they are careful to always be with a companion. They are happy! They are also hopeful, despite all the unknowns right now about missionary work, and you know, hope is very contagious. Way to shine, elders.
