Hank's first email home!

The following is an excerpt of Hank's FIRST email home! I'm leaving the spelling and punctuation as is...because I don't want to take away from who he is at all.

"Hey mom!! im writing this the same time as i wrote a handwritten letter, but they are differsent. so read both of them haha.... anyway i get homesick quite abit when im here, especially at night. i miss all of you guys so much, even Juliet! keep her healthy, i want her to be there when i get back. Also you guys be good too, dont die or anything while im gone! haha, but im serious! ....with the email i have only 30 minutes to write or it logs me off without saving. but im sure thats only an MTC thing, i think out in the feild i get more time to write. or maybe im wrong...

Love Hank Jackson"

I love that he signed it "Hank Jackson". Even with birthday cards and Mother's and Father's Day cards, he always signs it "Hank Jackson". I get a kick out of it.

He looks the same and how exciting he is in the MTC and preparing to go out in the field. I am psyching myself up for when Brandon goes in 4 years!

About this blog:

This blog will be maintained by me, (Lisa--Jonna, Hank & A.J.'s mom) while they serve missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

For four months, we had 3 missionaries out serving together. It was incredible, and a blessing! Now, we have Jonna and A.J. serving, after Hank returned home on Sept 19, 2012 from the Mississippi Jackson Mission. He served from Sept 2010 until Sept 2012. To see a clip of his return, click here:

JONNA is serving in the
Texas Houston East Mission
from Feb 2012 until August 2013.

A.J. is serving in the
Florida Orlando Mission,
from May 2012 until May 2014,
teaching in the Haitian Creole language.

I'm doing this blog for a number of reasons...to document their missions, to share their experiences with others, and selfishly...to feel more connected to them while they're gone. I'll add letters and pictures as they come, and although Jonna, Hank or A.J. won't have access to this blog, comments are always welcome! Perhaps when they return home, they will want to look at this blog, and reflect back on their lives during their missions. This is for my children.
