It has been fun reading from the other Elders and Sisters from the Mission. Some I recognize and some are just too far in the past. I want to thank Dan Crites for getting this started. Dan, you have always been a hugh example to me, not only on the Mission, but as roommates at BYU. Thanks for thinking of me.
Looking back, I think I was one of those Missionaries who always flew under the radar. I was one of those "Span-Am's" who spent the first half of my mission down on the boarder, Douglas and Nogales. It was funny, when I finally transfered to Tucson, no one knew who I was and everyone thought I was a greeny. Of the 14 or so spanish Elders, I was the one who spoke the poorest spanish,,and still do. I had some great companions, but have lost track of most of them. I hope to see their letters soon.
It has certainly been an interesting 25 yrs. Life has a way of throwing you some curveballs. My health has been less than perfect, but the Lord has certainly blessed me. I have 5 great kids,3 older boys and 2 girls. My oldest has been serving in the Navy in Italy for the last 3.5 yrs and is coming home in a couple of weeks. He plans to be married in the Salt Lake Temple in August. My second son just past his 1 yr mark in Brazil on his mission. My third son will be a senior next yr. My two daughters are 14 and 11 and they are busy in school activities. Sadly, I went through a divorce in 1998, but 3.5 yrs ago happily remarried and now have 3 wonderful step-children ages 22, 20 and 15.
President and Sister Kennedy, thanks for your service and love. I was a scared young missionary who got off that plane. Thanks for your encouragement and support. Looking back, I think "I" was my best conversion story. These young Elders and Sisters today are so better prepared, they are truly Gods Army. I look forward to serving another mission with my wife someday. Maybe this time I will actually learn spanish.
