Saying Goodbye

Today we got Jillian's first email! I don't have very much experience blogging but I got the strongest feeling that I need to make a blog for her and that I need to start today with this first email. I'm so happy that Jillian has made the decision to serve the Lord for 18 months. She is going to be an outstanding missionary and bless so many lives in England as well as here.

On Thursday July 14, 2011 we woke we woke up early to do last minute details and drop her off at the airport. It was a very emotional but exciting time. Saying goodbye is not fun but we couldn't be happier or more proud of our missionary kitty. She is such a good example to us all, especially to her niece and nephew Kate and Bradley. It was really hard to see Kate crying so hard when she left. They will miss playing with their Auntie Jilli so much. Even though it's a huge sacrifice for all of us I know that we will be blessed and that Jillian is being watched over.
