These are just a few of the eternal brothers and sisters we left behind in MexicoWell, we have been home for a year and a half, and it only seems like forever. We miss the people of Mexico. We hear from them once in awhile, but we really have no clue as to what is happening down there.
Since we got home:
We bought a car
Drove to Boise a half dozen times
We went to see 4 plays at the Old Lyric Theater (simply marvelous)
Marjorie had foot surgery and recovered (6 weeks)
I had surgery on my upper spine and have recovered (8 months)
We put our home back together (still working on that)
We planted a garden
We went fishing (We do that often now)
All in all we are doing just great, and we are healthy and happy. I don't think we are up to going on another mission to Mexico, but it's not because we wouldn't want to it's because our bodes are just to old and decrepit to walk 5 or 7 miles a day and knock on 2 or 3 thousand doors and climb 1500 sets of stairs. We will just hope that the Lord will find enough useful work for us to do right here at home, helping to build the Kingdom of God on Earth.
Our mission to Mexico taught us both a very important lesson. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is true; Joseph Smith is a prophet called by God to restore His church and Kingdom on earth; and the Book of Mormon is the word of God.
I hope that any of my converted friends who read this, will make the decision to put their life on hold for two years, and go on a mission with their spouse to a foreign land, and preach the gospel to people who will become your eternal brothers and sisters in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
