My daughter, Kira

Wow, our daughter Kira is doing really well right now. I'm very proud of her... of course, I have always been proud of her. She left for the Missionary Training Center on 1 Oct 2008 and her final day of her mission will be in April of 2009. It will be hard to not hear her voice but twice a year, but the Lord did say that if we love mother, father, brother, sister, daughter or son etc more than Him, we are not worthy of Him. This takes great strength to serve the Lord and be on His errand for 18 months, but she will grow in her testimony of Christ and in His gospel so much that she will almost be a differant person upon her return (in a good way, of course). Her enthusiasm encourages me, but I also know she will be dedicated and hard working and up earlier than others because it takes her FOREVER to get dressed in the morning, and hopefully she will sing the hymns whenever she can and lift others as well as herself. This will be good for her.
