There is not a home from which missionaries come
that will not be enriched and blessed because of their service in
the cause of the Lord. What a wonderful thing this great program is.
How grateful every father and mother ought to be who has a
missionary in the field.What a wonderful service it is.

quote by Gordan B. Hinckley
I know that our young men are under a great obligation to qualify themselves through education to full positions of responsibility in the world. Their time is precious. But I do not hesitate to promise that the time spent in faithful and devoted service as a missionary declaring the Master will only add to their qualifications for positions of responsibility in the future. Regardless of the vocation they choose to pursue, they will be better qualified in their powers of expression, in their habits of industry, in the value they place on training, in the intregity of their lives, and in their recognition of a higher source of strength and power than that which lies with their native capacity.
quote by Gordan B Hinckley
Heavenly Father already knows where they're going, when and why. He already has people stationed all along the way to take good care of them, to be theri mentors and friends. Rest assured tht where your sons, daughters, or parents are called is not a "dartboard" decision. A call to represent Jesus Christ is not a haphazard thing, because each missionary is needed and important.
The Lord has no better place to get acquainted with you than when you serve Him in the mission field. When you are serving your mission, He will send you on errands to act in His name. He will give you experience with the power of the Holy Ghost. He will authorize you to teach, to convert, and then to perform the sacred ordinances of salvation in His name. He will come to know you. He will come to know that He can trust you and can rely on you.
Elder M. Russel Ballard

Beautiful post. It means a lot to me, especially with Mel and Stephen out now. We are blessed by their service. I loved the pics of all of your missionaries throughout the years!
