Dalton and Greg's Missionary Farewell

Today in Sacrament meeting we were well taught by two fine young men, Dalton Wallace and Greg Shumway. They are leaving very soon for Italy and Switzerland respectively. The people of Italy and Switzerland will be so blessed to have them there. They have been well prepared by their mothers and family and leaders and I am glad to be associated with them and their families. I am grateful for their great personalities and for their testimonies of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I view them as modern day heroes because of their willingness to follow our Savior and obey Him. They have impacted our lives for good, especially our son, Jacob. Someday he will be at the age where he can serve a mission and I am grateful to Dalton and Greg for going on before and being good examples to Jacob. I am also impressed by their families. I want so much to raise my children in righteousness and I look to these people as my examples. I want to incorporate all their good deeds into my home. There are many people that I know that are heroes to me but today I pay tribute to Dalton and Greg. And to quote a Tongan missionary movie, " The Other Side of Heaven" I say to them " Hurrah for Israel!"
