Happy 2013

What a way to start my New Year....in tears after talking with the happiest sounding kid I know. Elder Hayden is off to Utica today after a brief stop in Detroit, and a short flight to Syracuse. He called us from Detroit since he knew we wouldn't be as excited about a 5:00am phone call...smart kid.
He sounded so happy and I am so excited for him, but my mothers heart is missing him so much after hearing his voice. I couldn't want more for him which is a consulation of sorts of not having him around.
When we asked him what he was looking forward to most he said sharing the gospel with those who don't know how awesome it is....and not just with fake investigators.
He will be a great missionary, because he is a great guy and gives his best to what ever he is involved in.
Mondays email won't come soon enough.

Happy New Years Eve

Now for my 2013....what to do?

MCC

AHHH....it's almost time!

 Soon -to-be Elder Hayden Call

The count down to leave is almost over...yikes! We have 9 days and he is out of here. I am a bit weepy when I think on it all. I am also very excited for him. But I have done it before and survived.

I keep reminding Hayden that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and if missions were that bad there would be a lot more dead missionaries. Besides if Jordan and Nelson can do it, it should be a breeze Hayden.

I think Hayden is our most prepared missionary, but he is also our most dependent child.....come on he is the baby of course he is dependent.

There is a lot, but not, left to do before he leaves....a lot for me to do to have peace of mind and for the greet after our Sunday meeting. But not a lot because the list has all but 3 things crossed off.

Oh the fun!
