Tomorrow is the 18 month mark for my son. It feels like he has been gone forever and I have really missed him. He's been a ZL and is now a DL so he's working hard. He tells me he hates the numbers game they play out there but that's the only thing he's really ever complained about. He's currently in La Crosse Wisconsin which is only his fourth area. It's been a lot better experience for him than it's been for his parents but I'm happy he choose to go. His brother has started working on his papers so on the one hand this last six months can't go fast enough and on the other I need it to slow down.

Amazing. I remember your posting on CG about him putting in his papers and getting ready to go. Now he is in the home stretch.
I am sure it will be nice to have him back. What is he going to do when he returns? Work or school?Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I am two years younger than my older brother. I went into the MTC the same day my parents were supposed to go pick him up. They dropped me off on Feb. 5 and picked him up on Feb 6.
Kind of a bummer.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσινComment

He's going to BYUI and then he wants to be a nurse anesthetist. I think he likes the hours and the free time to play golf.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostComment

Well, the good thing about him being in LaCrosse, Wisconsin is that he won't realize how much Rexburg sucks.Comment

Wow, time flies. Maybe not for you when it comes to getting to hang out with your son again, but it seems just like yesterday to me when he got his call. Sounds like a heck of a kid. Your wife must be a really special person.Originally posted by RC Vikings View Post

Is he in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin mission?Originally posted by RC Vikings View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

He's been gone that long? Wow.
It sounds like you've got a solid kid. I'm sure you and your wife are very proud and rightfully so."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill
