To the Missionaries

Last month I had the amazing pleasure to get to spend a day with my best friend and 3 great guys in Seattle. It was one of the best summer days to this date. It was the day before Brayden (left) left for the MTC, and one week before Ryan (right) left for his mission as well. I'll never forget the great time we all had and the memories we made. Most importantly, and why I say something about these two, is they are now serving the Lord on full time missions. Elder Ryan Carter is currently in Ohio, even though he was called to West Virginia and having already such a successful mission. I receive updates from the work he's been involved in and it just amazes me how the Lord fulfills his work in this gospel not only through members, but through the missionaries. They are such great influences in the world and the best young men and women of their age anywhere. I have so much admiration for them and all they do to serve. Elder Brayden Schoonmaker is still at the MTC learning Mandarin Chinese, and will be serving in Riverside California. I look so forward to hearing news from them because their stories and faithfulness truly strengthen my testimony further. Thank you elders!
