Wow, it was another wonderful weekend.  Nick is leaving for his Mission on April 16th....after a few weeks of intensive scripture study and missionary training, he  will leave  for Siberia to teach the Gospel for TWO YEARS!!

I was priviledged once again to be with the people who have supported him and loved him for the last few years.  The people in his church community are so giving.  I can see why he is so happy.  There are so many wonderful families that have touched his life and who's lives he has touched.  Together, we celebrated this success story.  (It sure felt good to celebrate)

Over the weekend, there were many gatherings in his honor to celebrate his mission of service.  And Sunday morning was very meaningful to me as I was able to hear his testimony.  I sang "I am a Child of God" and made it through until the last word before the tears came! 

Thank you, Lisa and Jay, for inviting me to stay at your home and for the impromptu lunch that you provided to his friends.  I so appreciate your kindness.  And Mark and Pam, may the Lord continue to Bless you for all you do.  Nick really loves you and so do I.   I am blessed to know you all and I am looking forward to seeing you all again in two years when Nick comes back!

Nick and I went to Antelope Island and climbed to the top so we could see the beauty of the mountains and Greater Salt Lake.   It was nice to just talk and be together.  I appreciated our time together more than anyone will know.

He will be missed by everyone while he is away, but we all know that God will have his Hand wrapped around him.  He is going back to his home country to do some good with the blessings of many people who care.  I love you Nickolas.
