It will be a great record for your family, and a good exercise for your kids in having to record their doings, as well as a benefit to us. Good to get more glimpses of you guys doing great work in a beautiful setting, and to help me picture you young kids as mission president and mom! On the tennis thing, I have never played on clay and have never wanted to. Having to do court maintenance afterwards makes me even less excited to try that. Grass, though, is an entirely different kettle of fish.<br />Cheers,<br />Matt MasonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011025951304919209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7756676033206358971.post-70529995625435776282013-07-21T22:26:41.212-07:002013-07-21T22:26:41.212-07:00This is so awesome!

Mike and I have been talking about you and James over the past few weeks wondering how you are doing. This blog makes me so happy to see what you are experiencing together. Isn't the Gospel amazing? We had a family return from serving as mission presidents in Brazil, speak in our ward today. And do you know what they said? They said they saw the "parting of the Red Sea everyday" on their mission---they saw and experienced miracles every single day!! I know you and James and your children will get to have the same experience! How powerful your testimonies as well as your children's will be--when you return. We are so thrilled for you guys!! We love you tons and will continue to keep you in our prayers.

I loved reading it all and am so excited for your family and for the missionaries in your mission that get to serve with you. I can imagine how much they love having you and your family there. As I read about you teaching, it took me back 20 years to our mission. How I miss those days and getting to share the gospel each day :) Know that you are all in our prayers -- I love you!<br />Andreaandrea frischknecht samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011463877682370720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7756676033206358971.post-15554505460311009122013-07-21T19:33:22.059-07:002013-07-21T19:33:22.059-07:00Laurel, what a gift you are giving us by letting u...Laurel, what a gift you are giving us by letting us peek into your lives.
