Elder Balmforth

Elder Balmforth is coming home!!! It is hard to believe that tomorrow at this time our whole family will be in one room. We haven't had everyone together in 2 years!!! So much has happened in the past 2 years! I hope Colton is ready. Because ready or not.... HERE WE COME!!!

here is the email that I wrote Colton last week. I am putting this on here so I can always remember these  crazy times. These last 2 years have been the best and some times hardest times in my life. I am so grateful for the blesses I have received because my my bother and sister served missions. So here you go.


Hey how are you!!! I love you bro! I am sure these last couple of weeks are going to be bitter sweet. Just remember that you have another journey that is about to start. You are amazing! It still feels like yesterday when you opened that big white envelope. I Remember thinking how crazy everything was! I was scared and nervous for you. Now 2 years later I am once again scared and nervous for you. But I also can't wait to see you!!! What an amazing day that will be. these last two years have shown me that you are strong and that you can do anything. I am so grateful for your willingness to serve a mission. You have brought some much happiness to our family and we have been so blessed because of you! You will never know the impact that your mission has had on my life. I just want to say thank you! And I want you to know that I know this gospel is true. I know our Heavenly Father loves us and he has a plan for us. I know that he will never fail us. If we do what he has asked then we will return to him someday. I am grateful for our eternal family. I am so grateful for prayer! Our Heavenly Father hears us. I love you bro. Keep the faith. You amaze me brother!! I am so blessed to be your sister! See you soon!!!!

yahhh I love my missionaries! I am also grateful for all the other people in my life who have served missions. They are all so amazing!! Thanks for reading!
