Missionary

“A mission is a family affair. Though the expanse of continents or oceans may separate, heart are as one.” President Thomas S. Monson 

When my brother was set apart one of the words that our Stake President said. When my brother would kneel and pray for us and we would do the same we would be closer that anyone could be. I have found that it is true. When we pray for families he is teaching just like him, when we pray for him to find those who are ready, when we try to do what he wants for those families he teaches, and when we help our local missionaries we have become closer. It does not matter that he is so far away and we miss him dearly the continent are nothing to how close we are to him and the work he is doing. 

Being on a mission is not just for the missionary, it is also for the family who supports the missionary as well. We are of one heart.
