I think that is so neat that you were taking care of the missionaries when they couldn't be with their own families. It goes full circle! Five of your own will be out there some day! You have inspired foresight in surrounding your boys with righteous young men who are faithful and serving a mission for the Lord. Very neat! As always, I want to do the same thing as you. I love you!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09076304365567822992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858280271217609516.post-46365957511674491442010-12-30T00:31:15.560-05:002010-12-30T00:31:15.560-05:00Melanie, Thank you for saying yes to the Elders. I...Melanie, Thank you for saying yes to the Elders. It brought a lump to my throat as I thought about DJ. I am hoping when DJ is in the mission field he will have the same kind of great people as you that will take care of him. Luckily he was in the MTC on Christmas. He had a wonderful time. (read here elderchadwick.blogspot.com)We didn't get the usual phone call but knew he was in good hands and that they would keep him occupied. You will be blessed as a mom of a missionary because of your willingness to have the missionaries in your home now. So glad you had a great Christmas. Sorry no tips on the puppy. Our dog came to us older and trained. Good Luck.<br />TinaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655572340455967675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858280271217609516.post-1762110544867342962010-12-29T20:44:59.341-05:002010-12-29T20:44:59.341-05:00what a wonderful night!!
