We usually take a spring family picture... Sunday we were all dressed up for church so we snapped a picture. It may not be as cute as some years, but look how they're growing! We had a special youth group meeting with the recently returned missionaries. We had the youth submit questions about missions, pre/post/during. Sam is always anxious about missions. We had him come sit with me and Ada during the meeting. He had his hand up a lot. One of his questions was "What made you feel like you wanted to be a missionary?" All of the missionaries pretty much said Love. Love of God and love for their fellow men. Sam took that down in his notebook and very seriously told Dad about it afterwards. Ada has been talking about being a missionary daily since then. Her first worry that she came to me with was, "What if I'm not ready for something like a foreign country?" I talked with her about how everything in our lives prepares us.... I was ready for my mission because of learning Spanish and living in Kenya. I think that our missionaries will be better prepared spiritually because of the new Come Follow me program. I'm excited to see how a mission will strengthen my children.
After church, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Robertson's house for waffles and Hansen cousins.
