Off to Russia

My sister left this morning to enter the MTC in Provo. She'll be there for 3 months before leaving for St. Petersburg, Russia for another 15 months. As my mom put it, "she has no idea what she's getting into but is ready to go."

I called my mother this morning to hear how she's holding up. I never realized how much of an impact it made on a mother. She said it was much the same effect when I left to go to Chile. What fortitude to know that your children are doing the right thing, but having to let them go off by themselves.

The Great Beginning

I hope this to be a weekly commentary on life. We will see what happens.
