200 days left

Well we reached another mission milestone!  Today marks 200 more days left in the mission for Elder Hall. It is starting to go by quickly and yet it feels like he has been gone from us for such a long time. We are getting excited to think about the things that we will be doing and having him here with us!  He is soooooo happy right now and enjoying every minute of the next 200 days.  I am so proud of him and so glad that he is loving his time there. He is an awesome missionary! Love you Elder Hall!

Elder Hall's Mission Dad

   

About six weeks ago Nic's trainer, Elder Forbes came home from Argentina. I had the pleasure of going to the homecoming and enjoyed listening to an amazing young man. Friday night we were able to find time for schedules to work out and have him over for some Cafe' Rio. It was soooo fun getting to know him and hearing stories about my sweet son. He just barely saw him the day he left!!!!!!  What a great missionary and we are so lucky to have had him train Nic. They had a blast together and he taught Nic how to be a missionary. Daniel and Alan had a great time talking about the crazy things about Argentina. We hope he will come back again often!  I know that he and Nic will be buds forever!

500 Days

                                       

Today Nicolas has been gone for 500 days. What a long time that is! I have truely felt every day of it! He is doing amazing, just like we all knew he would. He is happy and loving every minute of being a missionary. He is aware that his time is growing shorter and he is sad about that for sure. I think coming home is a distant reality that he is trying not to focus on. He loves the work and every email lets us know how happy he is to be part of the Missionary force. As of today we have 214 days left. I never thought we would make it this far, but it truely has been a blessing for all of us. We love him sooooo much and we are so proud of him every minute of the day.
