Mis·sion·ar·y

n. - One who is sent on a mission, especially one sent to do religious or charitable work in a territory or foreign country.


The rolling forth of the restored gospel is a miracle in every sense of the word, and not the least of the miracle is that a significant portion of it rolls forward on the shoulders of 19-year-olds! - Jeffrey R. Holland, "Abide in Me," Ensign, May 2004, 30

"I believe there is nothing in all the world that can compare with the joy that a man feels when he realizes that he has been the instrument in the hands of the living God of reaching some honest heart, inspiring in it a love of God and the desire to serve Him." Heber J Grant

"There is no other labor in all the world that brings to a human heart, judging from my own personal experience, more joy, peace and serenity than proclaiming the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ." Heber J. Grant


If you couldn't tell from the above quotes, Darin had his mission farewell on Sunday, the 15th of February. It was a very emotional day as we saw him for the last time for 2 years. Darin gave a very good and spiritual talk and he bore his testimony. It is so awesome to see how much he has grown in every aspect. We know he will be a very successful missionary and that he will be able to bless many people for good and we wish him the best of luck. It will definitely be very weird not to have him around now. He always made us laugh and feel at home. We will miss you! We were also able to spend time with family that we hadn't seen for quite some time. It was particularly nice to see grandparents and Tyler & Randell.

below are a few pictures of the luncheon after church.
