Now that "THE Day" has come & gone, I must say first, I'm so very grateful for Michael & his desire & worthiness to serve a mission, yet right now gratitude is my overriding emotion. Yes, I'm tired from the preparation throughout the last month & the emotional rollercoaster I feel as though I've been on, but again, it's exciting as we look ahead as a family & anticipate his journey. I've felt a tremendous support from family, from our friends & neighbors, as well Michael's friends from school & swimming, which is very comforting as I imagine his two year length of service away from home. Finally, I have full confidence as he's on the Lord's errand that he will be in the best watch-care possible & that at this time in Michael's life there is absolutely no better place for him to be. I know there are those who are thirsting for & being prepared to receive the gospel message & what a privilege for Michael to play a role in bringing such a significant change to other peoples' lives! Michael is a quiet leader yet a leader nonetheless, who will be a great strength & asset to the mission as well. I'm thankful for the chance he has to experience new responsibilities & continue to grow.
Yes, no doubt we will greatly miss him & his unique sense of humor & goofiness but I'm willing to lend him out for a short time in this great cause! Thanks to all who know & love my son, & for your continued example & support.
