I’m going back today and rewatching all the Aunt Linda videos you’ve posted and your parents videos. Such precious memories. Linda was an angel on earth and now in Heaven.
I love how you and your whole family love Aunt Linda! When Joel (Mark) softly said to Linda "bye sweetie", I just melted. You all are so tender and firm in your love for your sweet Aunt Linda! How wonderful!
I’m watching this again, since Ant Linda passed. I remember hoping she would see Chad and Jennifer again and she really was strong and true to her hearts desire. I’m sorry for your families loss, but also happy for Aunt Linda, she was ready to go home.
This is the sweetest video. Seeing your house, the kiddos being so little and Aunt Linda. I remember watching this when you posted, seems like yesterday. I guess what they say is true. The days are long but the years are short. ❤
The way your mother looks at Aunt Linda and treats her is truly precious and a testament to who she is. Your Dad as well but there is someone amazing about a mother’s understanding heart, to meet a person where they are at and for Aunt Linda that is 5 years old and that statement showed that your Moms heart was breaking at the thought of leaving a 5 year old Linda. I can’t wait to see the reunion video!!!!
I have a brother with special needs and he is my older brother but he depends on us like he is 7. I cry every time I go on a trip when I leave him behind even for a week. I can’t imagine 2 years. I love your parents, aunt Linda and your whole family! So beautiful 😍
@@annagalvin3897 she decided to distance herself from the family based off of a few questions and comments from Julie on her UA-cam. She’s on some connexions channel and Instagram Facebook group other social medias too weird parenting advice and claims on insta that she can no longer post her kids as she states others have exploited her kids when she did the same. I get the accounts that edit clips from vlogs and such but come on
Bonnie I never comment, but I am a longtime viewer. I absolutely adore your mom and dad. What a legacy they have created. Thank you for sharing these tender moments with us. I will continue to lift your parents up in prayer as they prepare and leave for their mission. Good and faithful servants of the Lord. That is who they are. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
We called them toad in a hole. Or eggs in a basket. It is so sweet to see how aunt Linda was saying about to your parents I even got teary-eyed over that
Bonnie, I think we should all send Aunt Linda a post card from where we’re at and a little note. It could be something we could do to help keep her busy while you’re parents are gone. Such a sweet video💕
I was thinking we should send her something as well. It would be great for Aunt Linda she'd love it but I think we'd love to do it and feel like we're doing something for her as well. We love her and this entire family so much ♥️
What a fantastic family going away get together for Bonnie's parents..2 years away from the family is a long time. I absolutely love your aunt Linda, she is so sweet. This was a wonderful get together for everyone. 💖🥰
May this time apart be blessed with health and sweet memories to keep the spirit alive. ❤️ It’s sad not to see the Franke kids with their cousins. Best wishes to Chad and Jennifer on their mission!
Just rewatching this video again! Lincoln's request for breakfast i grew up having them called Whale's Eyes! OMG the kids are all so young looking - what a difference your mum and dad must have seen when they saw them all again in person.
Aunt Linda about broke my heart too I know how she calls your mom several times a day and how much she is going to miss that. Your mom and dad seem so patient with her bless her heart. ♥️ I know y'all have this ! 🙏
had to prepare myself to come watch this, ive been so emotional lately having to find a new home. i knew i was gonna CRY like a baby watching you guys say goodbye.
This was a very heartfelt vlog! I got super teary-eyed! I felt like I was saying goodbye to one of my family members! I know you all will take very good care of Aunt Linda and have awesome memories with her while your mom and dad are gone on their mission! 💜
As I cry with sadness and joy for your parents! Miss seeing Ruby...not sure why, but I am going thru something with my oldest son and breaks my heart so much. Family is everything to me.
Living only 3 hours away..i thought of coming to the farewell...as I love your family so much..and I have tender heart for missionary work..with a boy preparing for a mission as we speak..but I know that it is also sacred family time and I am so grateful that you guys chose to share it. I love the song the grands sang also...Love from Burley Idaho!!
We called those toast and egg concoctions, “eggs in a basket,” or “shipwrecked eggs.” I loved the love expressed in the way Aunt Linda said her goodbyes while your parents go on their mission. So sweet. Thank you for sharing these moments with us!
Although it’s sad seeing your parents go on a mission for two years, you will see them again. I also know it’s sad with all that’s going on between 8 passengers and the rest of your family. We are all think of you ❤️
Never Cried So Much Lately Since We All Found Out About Your Parents Leaving. They Are Just A Blessing To Watch Over The Years . Sure Going To Miss Them. But Look Frwd To Vlogs Coming .God Bless You All From Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 We Love Your Whole Family 🙏💗..Huge Hugs To You All..Thank You For Sharing Your Life xx
Omg seeing aunt linda saying goodbye made me cry im so excited for your parents bonnie I am praying for them and i added them to my family's prayer text thread we love yall
This is so sweet. I hate goodbyes but it’s sweet to see your family love so hard. That song is also the most tender. My uncle wrote it and it has a special place in my heart 💜
The way you share and explain your faith is so encouraging. Aunt Linda is so very fortunate to be in such a beautiful family. Your parents are awesome folks❤️. I don’t know why I’m so sad that they are leaving when as a subscriber I technically get to go with them….lol. Continued blessings.
My heart aches for Linda and you all. I know how tough this will be but also can’t seem to help think about the what ifs while their gone and what could happen and how sad it would make me to think that would’ve been their final goodbye. Praying nothing bad happens while they are gone and in 2 years time you all can have a very happy reunion !
A lovely Video Bonnie. Sad but lovely. Cannot help but imagine the weight of responsibility you kids are feeling right now, praying to keep Aunt Linda safe and well over the next two years.
I was crying 😢 not because it was sad but because y’all are such great family to see. Watching all of you for so many years most of us feel like we are part of the family in some way.
I understand your mom's comment so much. We have a 27year old 4 year old and its just how you described. If you ask him how old he is he will tell you he is 4. He has been saying it for years now. This vlog gave me tears...all of it. The kids song. The money story, Aunt Linda. What special memories.
Oh Bonnie I don't know if I can watch these vlogs....I will but gosh so emotional. This vlog was beautiful!! My uncle had the same mental capacity as Aunt Linda. They are such a joy to be around. He loved parties, Mikey mouse and "writing letters"
Knowing that they might not see Linda again makes me so sad but seeing the family wave goodbye makes me think of the family waiting to wave hello from the other side …. Even more tears. What a beautiful family.
This was a pretty emotional vlog. I just adore Aunt Linda, and I cried at their goodbye. It’s also very sad that some are missing. Thanks for sharing guys. So much love!
I really liked what your mom said about aunt Linda. I love your family for the way you are treating aunt Linda ..I am a mother of a child with ADHD and I know who much love they need from the family ... your parents are gem ..lastly your expressions looked so much like Elliee in last 5 mins of vlog .we love your family it's a stress buster for me on some hard days
The five year old comment made me tear up. It’s so hard saying goodbye to family members with special needs because it’s hard to know if they understand sometimes but they never forget that whoever is leaving will come back❣️
So terribly heartbreaking. Everyone loves the Aunt Linda. For me watching your family for years, using the cookbook wearing the clothes using all the cleaning tips I feel your my family too. I’m going to miss you parents but this makes our Lord so happy that they are serving and he takes care of the details. Blessings and tears
Growing up a good friend of mine actually had an Aunt Linda that was mentally challenged she thought I was an extra Affair child I laugh about it now she passed away when I was 32 and I'm 65 now she was so special she loved everybody and she loved her presents so every time I see Aunt Linda on your video it reminds me of her thank you I'd really loved her. God bless you guys and love you
Aunt Linda has such a beautiful spirt. Her capacity to love is endless ♥️ 💓 ❤️ she will be well cared for by you guys 💗💗💗 your parents are such wonderful examples on how to care for someone who has developmental disabilities. She is always given grace, dignity and safe independence ❤️
I love what a fun mom you are Bonnie! Jumping on the trampoline with the kids!! They will always remember that. I loved when my mom did stuff with me when I was a kid!
I love Aunt Linda, this video brought me so many emotions, I love how pure hearted the whole family is and how real the videos are, reminds me of my family and how lucky I am, goodbyes are not easy at any age but Aunt Linda held it together so well 💖
I have a hard time saying good by to my family after visits. It’s not easy for anyone so I can only imagine how aunt Linda feels. I stared to cry watching up you all saying good by , I’m sure your parents are greatly appreciated that they can count on you all to look after her while they are gone. Bonnie you have a beautiful loving family . I’m sure we will be seeing Aunt Linda soon. 🙏❤️
I love aunt Linda and how sweet your parents are with her. I'll pray she has an easy time with your parents mission. It always cracks me up how she calls Joel Mark and everyone else does to her. I'm actually going to miss your backyard when you move, it's so perfect. Lincoln grew up so much, I always think of him as the baby and watching him singing with all his cousins he looked like one of the big boys.
Goodmorning Hollien family wow those shoes are so cute.Awww this is so emotional it made me cry when Aunt Linda is saying goodbye.I always love these family get together volgs .These are the beautiful and precious memories. ❤️❤️
Awe this was so sweet. It brought tears go my eyes the hole movie. But Aunt Linda saying goodbye got my chest. I deal with seniors on a daily basis on an alzheimers/dementia unit I always tell them. Because they often times can't understand why they can't remember. I always tell them they are now having there second childhood. And then I always end my conversation with you are so special. So Aunt Linda I love you a bunch. Keep smiling and being amazing. The money in the bucket was a neat idea. Blessing to grandma & grandpa Griffith on there mission. They will have an amazing journey how special.
This reminded me of the 2 times that I had to say goodbye to my grandparents when they served 2 missions 1991-1993 and 1996-1998. I still have all the letters they wrote me while on there missions in a box I read them at least 3-4 times a year. Seeing Bonnie and Grandma Griffiths crying got to me at the end.
I am seeing you and your sisters videos lately. I feel like they are going to fill the gap when your parents are on their mission. Please keep making them. I will enjoy seeing your family grow. 💜😊
Oh my this made me cry I have my own special needs brother who is 67 and we recently had to put him in a home and he ask all the time to come home but my dad is almost 90 and it just isnt possible any more for the 2 of them to live together
seeing julies little baby in your shoes was the cutest, they were in such good condition too !! looking back at the picture of you when you were a baby, those shoes were a spotlight lol
Watching aunt Linda say goodbye bye made me cry like a baby I feel for her I know it must be hard but she's in good hands for the next 2 years with Bonnie and all the kinds
Considering everything my tears have held pretty good until now but this last emotional goodbye from Aunt Linda was just too much to bear. Life is uncertain & two years being away is sad & scary. May GOD bless all your families especially sending heartfelt prayers for Aunt Linda.
Awe…… I cannot stop crying hysterically….. everyone around me probably thinks I’m unstable or something, because I went from smiling & giggling to crying….. I just love aunt Linda…. I don’t think she realizes it’s going to be 2 years. Bonnie, I know you will, but please take good care of aunt Linda…. You’ve got some big shoes to fill while your parents are gone. Love you guys. Please post vlogs with aunt Linda as often as you can!!
If you ever make it up here to Maine, best time to come is late September-October. Beautiful weather and foliage. Lots of RV campgrounds on the coast with beautiful ocean views.
Enjoy those beautiful moments with your children playing together outside. Mine are all grown up, and it makes me smile as well as a little sad watching your beautiful family together. Wanting those moments with mine again so badly ❤️
Bonnie you and you whole family is so lovely and to take care of Aunt Linda like you do , i going miss your Mom and Dad its like they live next door to me and is leaving , please come on here and let us know they made the trip ok and has gotten there place to live at , i am praying for all of you .
Aunt Linda, God bless her Bonnie, she's so lucky to have a loving family like all of you. Excited about your parent's adventure!! And of course your new build!!❤🇨🇮😘🙏❤️
Goodness I had tears in my eyes up until Aunt Linda’s “presents” comment and then I laughed with you. She is such a joy. I know yall will take excellent care of her.
This video today was hard sometimes to watch. Especially when Aunt Linda was saying good bye. I got teary eyed. That was really cool what your parents did. Putting a bucket full of coins. I laughed watching the kids try so hard to get a very full handful. I hope Aunt Linda won’t be to much for you to handle. Maybe she would like going with you to a school function that your children are in. Especially your youngest she might be able to understand what’s going on. Wishing You Luck, Stay Safe, Take Care and God Bless. Susan From Connecticut
What a fun event for the family! Great that your mom made it a teaching moment! Breaks my heart that Ruby's family wasn't there for her parents. What goes around comes around as they say! Most parents/families don't deserve this...it is more than just sad...it's time together that is gone forever, broken hearts that can never be repaired, life is not the same even if/when they return one day. I understand because I'm living it too...
Whoops 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️She’s such an angel .. such a wonderful, giving, sharing and caring !! I’m going to miss them @ get together & on your girls vlogs !!!& Linda she’s so sweet … I’m not crying your crying !!! So hard to say goodbyes♥️♥️🙏🏽😘♥️🙏🏽😘♥️🙏🏽😘♥️🙏🏽😘🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦♥️🙏🏽😘🇨🇦
I loved this vlog. My eyes teared up when the Kids sang. This was sooooo wonderful. Wishing your parents all the best on their mission.I am soooo happy Linda has you guys arround ❤️
I’m not Mormon but I’m open to all religions.. so learning the past few years and watching y’all’s family I get it! I get why they are going’s I get it all but damn I’m not even family and I’m crying I couldn’t imagine sending anyone off for any amount of time not to mention 2 years. So my heart breaks for you all as you enter this new chapter and especially for Linda but like you said at the end like Linda we all understand in a way why even if we aren’t Mormon
Just a heads up that the term Mormon isn't used at all anymore. That's just an old nickname that members ask others not to use. It's member of the Church of Jesus Christ. They simply didn't want anyone taking "Jesus Christ" out of the name. But the sacrifice for the mission is worth it because they know how blessed they are to have each other that sending some of them out for a time to help so many others who aren't as blessed is a sacrifice that's very much worth it. And then the mission refines individuals and makes them more selfless, loving, experienced etc. There are many areas in the world that need feet on the ground doing community service and helping families. It use to be that missionaries would email home once a week and call home twice a year but with technology the way it is now they can video chat weekly with family. They will likely work with a lot of refugees who are far from home and family, an emotion that a missionary can really relate to which helps them embrace them with all that extra love they have to give. The lonely will be visited, the poor will be fed, the widow's will be supported, the sick will be taken care of...and their family at home will be blessed by their example :)
Member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The Mormon faith is divided by the latter day Saints, who do not follow the teachings of Brigham Young. And those who do, the Church of Jesus Christ.
I’m going back today and rewatching all the Aunt Linda videos you’ve posted and your parents videos. Such precious memories. Linda was an angel on earth and now in Heaven.
Ugh me too. I'm going back and rewatching all the vlogs that have aunt linda in them. Makes me so sad that she is gone
Same here
Love how aunt Linda calls Joel mark
Goodbyes are hard for most, but Aunt Linda about broke my heart. I love how your parents are always so patient…like parents, to her. 💜
I love how you and your whole family love Aunt Linda! When Joel (Mark) softly said to Linda "bye sweetie", I just melted. You all are so tender and firm in your love for your sweet Aunt Linda! How wonderful!
I’m watching this again, since Ant Linda passed. I remember hoping she would see Chad and Jennifer again and she really was strong and true to her hearts desire. I’m sorry for your families loss, but also happy for Aunt Linda, she was ready to go home.
This is the sweetest video. Seeing your house, the kiddos being so little and Aunt Linda. I remember watching this when you posted, seems like yesterday.

I can’t wait to see the reunion video!!!!
You are absolutely correct. It shows how purely my mom loves. With no judgement and open arms. ♥️♥️
I have a brother with special needs and he is my older brother but he depends on us like he is 7. I cry every time I go on a trip when I leave him behind even for a week. I can’t imagine 2 years. I love your parents, aunt Linda and your whole family! So beautiful 😍
The way Joel compliments Bonnie, that is marriage goals ♥️
Ruby is missing out on all these memories with your beautiful families. I truly love you Bonnie, you have a special place in my heart.
where is she? i was wondering the same thing.
@@annagalvin3897 she decided to distance herself from the family based off of a few questions and comments from Julie on her UA-cam.

What is sad is that Ruby’s children are missing out on precious memories with their grandparents, and cousins. Very sad
@@97AshleyRose whats the video title?
Bonnie I never comment, but I am a longtime viewer. I absolutely adore your mom and dad. What a legacy they have created. Thank you for sharing these tender moments with us. I will continue to lift your parents up in prayer as they prepare and leave for their mission. Good and faithful servants of the Lord. That is who they are. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my heart aches for Aunt Linda, but she's going to be well looked after 🤗💙🙏.
We called them toad in a hole. Or eggs in a basket. It is so sweet to see how aunt Linda was saying about to your parents I even got teary-eyed over that
Bonnie, I think we should all send Aunt Linda a post card from where we’re at and a little note. It could be something we could do to help keep her busy while you’re parents are gone. Such a sweet video💕
I was thinking we should send her something as well.
It would be great for Aunt Linda she'd love it but I think we'd love to do it and feel like we're doing something for her as well.
We love her and this entire family so much ♥️
Oh my god yes! Just imagine Linda getting postcards from aaaaall over the place! ♥️
What a fantastic family going away get together for Bonnie's parents..2 years away from the family is a long time. I absolutely love your aunt Linda, she is so sweet. This was a wonderful get together for everyone. 💖🥰
May this time apart be blessed with health and sweet memories to keep the spirit alive. ❤️ It’s sad not to see the Franke kids with their cousins. Best wishes to Chad and Jennifer on their mission!
Just rewatching this video again! Lincoln's request for breakfast i grew up having them called Whale's Eyes!
OMG the kids are all so young looking - what a difference your mum and dad must have seen when they saw them all again in person.
Aunt Linda about broke my heart too I know how she calls your mom several times a day and how much she is going to miss that. Your mom and dad seem so patient with her bless her heart. ♥️ I know y'all have this ! 🙏

I love the song the grands sang also...Love from Burley Idaho!!
I love re watching this. So loving and sweet on SO MANY levels!!! My heart just swells knowing that I got to know her, only if by video!
We called those toast and egg concoctions, “eggs in a basket,” or “shipwrecked eggs.”
I loved the love expressed in the way Aunt Linda said her goodbyes while your parents go on their mission. So sweet. Thank you for sharing these moments with us!

Praying nothing bad happens while they are gone and in 2 years time you all can have a very happy reunion !
It's these family gatherings that I love the most. It's so sad that ALL the grown kids are not there. It really breaks my heart.
Whenever there is something emotional with Aunt Linda I start to cry. This isn’t even my family and I could feel these strong emotions of love.
Heaeing the kids singing was so precious. My heart hurts for Aunt Linda although I know she'll be in good hands. Sending love from Wilsonville Oregon
A lovely Video Bonnie. Sad but lovely. Cannot help but imagine the weight of responsibility you kids are feeling right now, praying to keep Aunt Linda safe and well over the next two years.
I was crying 😢 not because it was sad but because y’all are such great family to see. Watching all of you for so many years most of us feel like we are part of the family in some way.

The five year old comment made me tear up. It’s so hard saying goodbye to family members with special needs because it’s hard to know if they understand sometimes but they never forget that whoever is leaving will come back❣️

The tear’s 🥰 such a beautiful family I love when all of you get together ❤️❤️ wish you mom and dad the best on there trip and safe travels ❤️

Linda broke my heart. I think because I could see her heartbreaking. I cried.
Hi Bonnie Joel family...,, from England this was a sad but happy also.aunt Linda is such a sweetheart..you are a amazing family xx👍💕🌞🌞🌞
I cried watching such a nice goodbye. Safe travels on your mission. On a side note I think Lincoln looks like a young Chad.
I could feel the sadness of watching aunt Linda saying goodbye to grandma and grandpa Griffith. I have been watching for 5 years now.
Thanks for the heart. I live in Magna, Utah..

I cried watching Aunt Linda say goodbye to your parents. So much love ❤️ I cry at mission farewells too 🫂
The videos with aunt Linda are memories ❤❤
This was bittersweet❤️ I have never been with out my parents for years only for maybe a few weeks but I hope they do okay where there going.
Watching aunt Linda say goodbye bye made me cry like a baby I feel for her I know it must be hard but she's in good hands for the next 2 years with Bonnie and all the kinds
Considering everything my tears have held pretty good until now but this last emotional goodbye from Aunt Linda was just too much to bear. Life is uncertain & two years being away is sad & scary. May GOD bless all your families especially sending heartfelt prayers for Aunt Linda.
This is wonderful, Bonnie!😊💙💙💙💙💙💙👍. Your parents are so incredible to you with love, strength and happiness.💙🌈🌷💖👍
What a special vlog. Your parents are so blessed with so many grandchildren.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm just binging all of Aunt Linda's videos ❤
I can’t stop the tears
Love you all so much
Awe…… I cannot stop crying hysterically….. everyone around me probably thinks I’m unstable or something, because I went from smiling & giggling to crying….. I just love aunt Linda…. I don’t think she realizes it’s going to be 2 years. Bonnie, I know you will, but please take good care of aunt Linda…. You’ve got some big shoes to fill while your parents are gone. Love you guys. Please post vlogs with aunt Linda as often as you can!!
If you ever make it up here to Maine, best time to come is late September-October. Beautiful weather and foliage. Lots of RV campgrounds on the coast with beautiful ocean views.
Love how you all take care of your Aunt Linda! Goodbyes are hard we aren't guaranteed tommorow.
Enjoy those beautiful moments with your children playing together outside. Mine are all grown up, and it makes me smile as well as a little sad watching your beautiful family together. Wanting those moments with mine again so badly ❤️
Bonnie you and you whole family is so lovely and to take care of Aunt Linda like you do , i going miss your Mom and Dad its like they live next door to me and is leaving , please come on here and let us know they made the trip ok and has gotten there place to live at , i am praying for all of you .
I am a huge mess watching this. Wow I love this family. They are so sweet, loving and caring 😭❤️🥰
Aunt Linda, God bless her Bonnie, she's so lucky to have a loving family like all of you. Excited about your parent's adventure!! And of course your new build!!❤🇨🇮😘🙏❤️
Goodness I had tears in my eyes up until Aunt Linda’s “presents” comment and then I laughed with you. She is such a joy. I know yall will take excellent care of her.
This video today was hard sometimes to watch. Especially when Aunt Linda was saying good bye. I got teary eyed.
That was really cool what your parents did. Putting a bucket full of coins. I laughed watching the kids try so hard to get a very full handful.
I hope Aunt Linda won’t be to much for you to handle. Maybe she would like going with you to a school function that your children are in. Especially your youngest she might be able to understand what’s going on.
Wishing You Luck, Stay Safe, Take Care and God Bless.

What a fun event for the family! Great that your mom made it a teaching moment! Breaks my heart that Ruby's family wasn't there for her parents. What goes around comes around as they say! Most parents/families don't deserve this...it is more than just sad...it's time together that is gone forever, broken hearts that can never be repaired, life is not the same even if/when they return one day. I understand because I'm living it too...
I don’t want to see your parents go Bonnie they are absolutely gorgeous and i wish them well on their mission
Whoops 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️She’s such an angel .. such a wonderful, giving, sharing and caring !! I’m going to miss them @ get together & on your girls vlogs !!!& Linda she’s so sweet … I’m not crying your crying !!! So hard to say goodbyes♥️♥️🙏🏽😘♥️🙏🏽😘♥️🙏🏽😘♥️🙏🏽😘🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦♥️🙏🏽😘🇨🇦
I loved this vlog. My eyes teared up when the Kids sang. This was sooooo wonderful. Wishing your parents all the best on their mission.I am soooo happy Linda has you guys arround ❤️
Thank you for sharing your family with us❤
I’m not Mormon but I’m open to all religions.. so learning the past few years and watching y’all’s family I get it! I get why they are going’s I get it all but damn I’m not even family and I’m crying I couldn’t imagine sending anyone off for any amount of time not to mention 2 years. So my heart breaks for you all as you enter this new chapter and especially for Linda but like you said at the end like Linda we all understand in a way why even if we aren’t Mormon
Just a heads up that the term Mormon isn't used at all anymore. That's just an old nickname that members ask others not to use. It's member of the Church of Jesus Christ. They simply didn't want anyone taking "Jesus Christ" out of the name. But the sacrifice for the mission is worth it because they know how blessed they are to have each other that sending some of them out for a time to help so many others who aren't as blessed is a sacrifice that's very much worth it. And then the mission refines individuals and makes them more selfless, loving, experienced etc. There are many areas in the world that need feet on the ground doing community service and helping families. It use to be that missionaries would email home once a week and call home twice a year but with technology the way it is now they can video chat weekly with family. They will likely work with a lot of refugees who are far from home and family, an emotion that a missionary can really relate to which helps them embrace them with all that extra love they have to give. The lonely will be visited, the poor will be fed, the widow's will be supported, the sick will be taken care of...and their family at home will be blessed by their example :)
Member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The Mormon faith is divided by the latter day Saints, who do not follow the teachings of Brigham Young. And those who do, the Church of Jesus Christ.
I love how Linda made sure to get in how she wants her gift 😂😂
This is my absolute new favorite video of y’all’s. It just touched my heart so much!
Im so sad for you guys not being able to visit your parents for the next 2 years. I pray for safe travels and good health while they are away.
