The Missionaries.

And off they go...

They checked in to the Provo MTC this morning.

SO thankful for them.

Dear Bishop and Sister Hughes:

We got off to a slightly bumpy start, I know.

It was a confusing time for all of us.

I had no idea why I was supposed to marry the never-married youngun.

You guys were understandably a little shocked about it too.

We were all shocked, actually.

Well, except for Hughes.

And 2.

Those two were at peace.

They knew Heavenly Father was in charge.

And now we know it too, right?

But in these past five years, amazing things have happened.

My girls have a whole new family.

We have been accepted by all of you.

Not only accepted, but loved and cherished.

Even me.

Neither one of you will ever really understand what

this has meant to me....to really be part of your family.

I love you both so much.

And congrats on the 12 month break from your

nineteen grandkids.

I think you kind of need it.

Have the time of your lives!

And we will miss you.

Love,

MaLeisa
