Mission Time!

My parents left on a 23 month mission for our church; they were called to serve in the Samara Russia mission and they will be spending 99% of their time in Saratov, which is about 4 hours from Samara.  We are so proud of them and the example that they are setting for us.  It is going to be (actually, already is) very difficult to say goodbye and we miss them terribly, but they are where they need to be at this time.  If I don't think about, I'm good; but that doesn't usually happen.  :)  We were able to spend a couple days with them right before they left and visited one of the parks here in Spokane, Manito Park.  It was a beautiful day.  We look forward to the adventure's our family is going to have the next couple years and to hear all about my parents.  

If you'd like to follow along on their journey, my sister-in-law Jen will be keeping a blog and I will be updating on Facebook.  So, check it out!  If you have any questions, let me know.  Love to you all.  :)
