Cancun

Jordan is doing so well on his mission. It is hard to believe that he has been gone more than six months. I am sure everyone thinks time has flown by. It has in some ways and others it has been slow. Jordan loves serving in Mexico. Many of the missionaries ask him how long he has been out. They think he speaks the language like he has been out over a year.

Jordan had two baptisms in Tixkokob. This is Miguel and Clara.

Jordan loved Tixkokob. He has now been transferd once again. He is so sad to be leaving the kids in Tixkokob. Jordan was helping the kids in the ward prepare for a mission. He fell in love with Willer and Kike. He is going to miss them so much.

Jordan in his new apartment in Cancun. He is once again trying to adjust to a new place, a new companion. It has been hard on him. He knows that the Lord is in charge and he will adjust. Jordan has been transferd about every six weeks since he has been there. Every time he gets a new companion. That has been hard for him. Right when he feels he is getting use to his new surroundings things change. Jordan has been made Senior Companion! He is not very excited about this. He would rather be the follower than have to take charge.

A Hero!

There are so many people who give so much for us to be Free! Brad is always telling me Freedom comes with a cost. I want to thank all those families who sacrifice so much more than I do for our Freedom! It takes a special person to walk away from their families to do something for someone else. Thank goodness we have people that are willing to that for us and others. What would we ever do without them?
A picture is worth a thousand words.
My darling husband would be so mad at me for doing this to him. Today, April 1, Brad left for the Middle East to help with the War on Terror. He will be gone a month. Brad has definitely had his share of deployments. We are lucky that this one is only a month. He will be doing many things over there. He can't tell me or he would have to kill me. I'm just the wife who knows nothing.

I am so thankful for Brad. He is such a Hero to me! Brad gives all that he has to us his family, to his job and his country. He is an amazing man who loves all that life has to offer. I love you babe!! God speed until we are together again.
