saying Goodbye ...Hasta Luego

 many  prayers and tears as Victoria Mercado leaves to serve her mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She is now is Provo only a few minutes away from me and I know that she is being cared for and loved by many of my friends and neighbors who are serving in the Prove Missionary Training center, She is continueing to learn Spanish and study and grow her testimony of Jesus Christ and His love for everyone.  a fun fact is that Jim's family settled in Colonia Juarez which is one of the areas which Hermana Mercado will be.
Oh how I love this

And after we send VIctoria off Val and I take a fun bike ride arouond a lake in beautiful Michigan

At the Airport for the early mohis rrning flight to Provo Utah. We missed Austin as he had to get to his school for running

LOVE

GAming my way

More LOVE

MOREAND MORE LOVE

AND TEMPLE LOVE,  To record my joy in sending off Victoria to serve the Lord, it is difficult to type tears and hugs and faith and hope and sacrifice. These are all needed. The gift we give of service is a gift of thanks to Jesus Christ who sacrificed HIS LIFE of US
