Hello my dear readers, I'm still here. Lots of changes going on. Good changes. Hard changes. And I pinky swear to share a few of them in the next week. But today, I had to write about a very happy milestone. Today, September 7th, Drew celebrates his year mark (aka "hump day") or half way point on his mission. This past year has been such a blur in many ways. Perhaps, because of all the hard, it's been a little easier having Drew gone knowing he is doing something so healing and life changing. LDS missions change these kids in powerful and positive ways. I've witnessed it so many times. First with Sadie, many times with other peoples kids, and now Drew. And rather then say too much more about this, I will just let Drew share in his own words. This is a small excerpt from his email.
" I am so grateful to be apart of it, and being able to share this great news with others. It has been a great year, and I'm looking forward to many more great times to come in the next one. I am away from family and friends, always tired, working my hardest I ever have in my life, constantly being turned down and treated bad, but somehow I am happy :-) and that alone is enough for me to know this mission is all worth it. I love and miss yall so much, and hope things are going well.. See you all in a quick ONE!!!!!!!! ;-)))"
How I miss this kid. Here's to a quick ONE.
