JD farewell July 26th

What a special day... the spirit was so strong. JD talked about his two best friend...Andrew and Travis and what a example they have been to him. Talked about faith and how with faith anything is possible. Talked about the temple and his experience... on how he loves to go and feel the spirit, the peace when he is there. He shared his testimony of the gospel and how he can't wait to share that with others on his mission. His sisters sang "In the Hollow of thy Hand" they sounded like angels. We knew this was a older but when Kristy, Nacole and Jenny were young this was a song on a tape that we listen to every sunday morning getting ready for church. The girls would always say "we want to sing this for our brother when he goes on a mission" so it's a special song. JD is a special young man that we know will touch many lives...he has touch ours.
What a special day for our family...we love you JD ...so proud of you!

I love my missionary!!

Proud parents...need I say more
