Departure

I don't think this is ever an easy experience for anyone!  Lots of nervous energy.  All packed up & got to the airport on time!  The ticketing agent allowed Derrick & I to have passes to go to the gate with Hunter.  We were all good till it came time for him to line up.  Lots of hugs, kisses, tears, more hugs & more tears.  Walking away had both mom & dad crying like babies ;)!  So PROUD of our boy!  I had been thinking a lot lately of just how huge a sacrifice these boys make to spend these two years of their lives living in white shirts & ties & bearing a name tag representing our Savior Jesus Christ & preaching His word to total strangers in a foreign land.  HUGE sacrifice.  HUGE blessings.
