Winding Down

Sister Babbel is in the last few months of her mission, and as her time in the mission field is winding down I will be both happy and sad to see her come home. We all miss her so much and look forward with great anticipation to her return, but the mission experience is such a wonderful time in life, and the closeness she feels with the Spirit will be something she can treasure, and continue to work for, once she returns. I have seen Heavenly Father's hand in our lives while Kierstan has served in the mission field, and I feel so blessed to be part of the extraordinary experience of sending a missionary to serve the Lord. We expect she will be home sometime around the 15th of November so as of today she only has 143 days left! She might not be counting, but I am!
