Day 9

Today I am grateful for missionaries.  Don't they just bring a smile to your face?   I just love these young men and women who sacrifice up to two years of their lives to go out into the world to serve their Heavenly Father.  They share the message of a loving Heavenly Father and of our Savior Jesus Christ.  These young people are such amazing examples to me and I am just so grateful to them for their service.  I am a member today because some missionaries were willing to go out and share the gospel with my family.  Currently there are over 50,000 missionaries serving in over 300 missions around the world.  I think that is pretty impressive.  I love missionaries.

I have a just a few pictures here of some of our friends who are currently serving missions   Hopefully, I haven't forgotten anyone and I chose to only put up pictures of current missionaries because I know so many people who have served it would be just too many.  And no I do not know who those missionaries are in the top picture just one I found.
