All the bags were packed
with treasures of Africa for friends and family
But what we will treasure most are cherished memories of Africa with our family.
It was hard to see our children go.
We have been away from home and family for almost 9 months now. We have missed them.
When we embraced one last time at the airport my heart ached. It was hard to leave my family again. As my husband took my hand and we turned to walk away the sadness turned to gratitude.
I am eternally grateful that I got to be the mother of these two amazing people. I am grateful that my children have found people who love them as deeply as I do. I am grateful that I know Heavenly Father has a plan for me and for each of my children. I am grateful that I know that our family will be an eternal family. I am grateful that I was called to serve as a missionary in the Africa Southeast Area with this amazing man as my companion.
