It's September and that means that our mission will soon be a memory. On the 28th we will pack up and head West to reclaim our house! We certainly appreciate Pather's TLC of our house while we've been here. They will be moving into a house close to us on the 15th. Of course, we are so happy they have decided to stay in St. Pete! We look forward to having Grayson and Elle (after school) on Wednesdays while Heather works. Heather is expecting their 3rd child in early February 2013.
Leaving the ranch will be bittersweet for us. We look forward to going home; however, we will miss so many things about this amazing ranch. Most of all, we will miss the people on the ranch, especially the wonderful families! Life's all about relationships, all kinds of relationships: family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. The people in our life make it rich and meaningful. A favorite quote says "Make new friends, keep the old. One is silver, the other gold." We have made many new friends while on our mission and to them we say, "thanks for your love and friendship"! They have enriched our life and we will never forget them.
We so admire the young, growing families that live and work on the ranch. Hard-working fathers and mothers raising children to be righteous, responsible adults. Not an easy job in the 21st century! We believe in families!! The Family: A ProclamationTo The World
