We love our family. The hardest thing to leave will be these seven precious grandchildren! However, we are happy they are praying for grandma and grandpa on their mission in Korea. We had a great family reunion near Jackson, Wyoming before separating for three years.
Terri and I want all the world to know how much we love our life. We love the gospel plan of salvation. We know where we came from and where we are going and the purpose for life. The work we do in Korea will not be work, it will be the pleasure of sharing the great message of Christ's gospel as representatives of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We hope you find pleasure in following the experience we have over the next three years!
