We have the opportunity to talk to our missionary son two times per year. Once at Christmas and then again on Mother's Day. Since we left Andrew at the Missionary Training Center on July 23rd, we have received weekly letters but have not been able to have interaction on the phone. Of all the wonderful things we did together as a family on Christmas and over the holiday season, the highlight had to be the 40 minutes we got to spend on Facetime with our son. For those brief minutes, all of my children were together.
He sounded so great! He says missionary work is a lot harder than he anticipated, but he is loving it. He says he's gained 12 pounds. I can believe it. He's not playing soccer or basketball or doing the track workout everyday so he is going to put on some weight. I can see it in his face as well.
The time went way too fast. It was incredible to hear him tell everyone that he loves them. This is family! I'm one proud mom.
