Today was the Holy Sabbath Day and we were all together for our Sunday Meetings. Can you imagine getting all 27 members of this family ready for the 9:00am Sacrament Meeting and being on time? Well we did it and we enjoyed having this opportunity to be together.
It is very crazy having 17 grandchildren under the age of 11 and 10 adults. We are grateful for the hospitality of Josh and Amy and having them be so kind to open their home up for a Lasher Family "controlled chaos" family reunion.... well, perhaps not so controlled .....
We have shared some very emotional moments here this last few days. It is interesting that mom and I have talked about this opportunity for over 35 years and now we are at that point of making that complete commitment. I must admit that it was so much easier to "talk" about it that it is to "just do it". It is the difference between day and night. We know that the Adversary would love it if we just stayed home and take the easy route of being here with our family. And that could be easy but what a mistake that would be. It is press forward and no looking back and let the mission experience begin!!!
Love Love Love you guys!!! Thanks for your commitment to serve the Lord and be an example to your children and grandchildren!! We are seeing the blessings start already!
