I hope they call me on a mission!

Here are our missionaries-in-training. Last Spring, they packed their bike and unicycle in the car before church and then enjoyed riding the 8 miles home from church. Don't they just look like a pair of missionaries on their way to spread the gospel? The "senior companion" was 12 years old, and the "junior companion" was 8 years old at the time. I loved that they encouraged each other to the end and that they used their energy constructively.
Missionaries are on my mind right now because my parents will soon be serving as missionaries in Australia. I am so proud of them for making the sacrifice to serve the Lord at this time in their lives. Their example inspires me to become a better person.

Thanks, Mom and Dad, for being you and for making choices that will bless all of our lives. We will be praying for your success and we know the Lord will bless you to be instruments in His hands for good. And while you are gone we will continue to train up the next generation to follow suit and build the Lord's Kingdom. Your example is encouraging them as well. Carry on!
