Two Missionary Sons

I have two missionary sons at the moment.  The oldest son is in Peru.  He's been there since August 2010.  He will complete his mission in September of 2012 (He extended his mission for 6 weeks).  The next son is currently in the MTC in Provo, UT, learning spanish so that he can serve his mission in Arizona, Tempe.  I hear from Mark on Mondays.  I hear from Paul on Thursdays.  They are both very excited about the work and seem to be throwing themselves into it.  It makes me very happy and proud to see them being missionaries.  Whenever I see young men in white shirts with their missionary name tags, my mind automatically jumps to my sons.  From the moment they were born, I hoped that they would do a few certain things in their lives:  be Eagle Scouts, serve as missionaries, marry in the temple, be righteous husbands and fathers.  So far, they are doing very well.  We pray for them every day that they will be safe, healthy, happy, do their best, work hard, and find people who want to hear their message, a message that has brought me and my family much happiness in our lives.
