Another excerpt from an email we got from Hank last Friday. I get a kick out of all his "haha"s. He hasn't mentioned being homesick, so I think he's doing better.

I'm sending Hank a letter today. Thanks for this beautiful blog. Missions are life changing. I LOVED mine! Parenting is also life changing. I'm happy to be doing that right now too. :-) Love you so much. It is 100 degrees here today! Feels like AZ without the AC.
ReplyDeleteKirsten- thank you SO much!! I can't even tell you. I was telling your mom, that until we sent Hank off...I thought I "got it"...as to how mom's and dad's and even siblings felt seeing them off...but I didn't. I could only imagine. I'm so grateful he's doing this, as much as I felt ill-prepared to be at this stage in my life. Sorry it's 100 degrees there. How is that possible???? Just stay wet...or do as Grandma Beecroft did when she was a little girl, wet all the sheets and hang them up in the windows. Nice thing about California, the heat is a fluke, and not the norm!! Love you too, Kirsten. Thanks for the note.
