Missionary miles...

Missionaries... What valiant servants they are. They leave as 19 year old boys and return with two years worth of wisdom, experience and mileage.

Missionary #1
Before

After
The shoes he wore home...

Missionary #2
Before

After

The shirt he wore home...

It's the only one he returned with... and said it was the best one he had.

That's not all they returned with. They returned with honor, strong testimonies and a new appreciation for what is truly important in life. May they always remember these things and continue to bless the lives of their families and others. I love my missionaries. The ones who taught me, the one I married and the ones that have come into our family. Great men, one and all.

Thank you for your service and your examples.
