It's Official! 100 Days!!

Karl and I got an email on Friday, November 20, from the Baltic States Mission President to inform us that our sweet son will return home on March 3, 2016!!!!

Oh my goodness!  I am so very excited for that great day, now just 100 days from today, November 24, 2016.

I must admit that having a missionary in the family has been the most incredible experience of a lifetime for him and all of us. But, all good and powerful experiences eventually come to at least a temporary end, and when that day comes, we will greet Elder Petersen with open arms, and smiles and tears of joy and happiness.  We are so very blessed by his service yet so excited to see where his next adventure will be.

Tomorrow - double digit countdown begins . . . . . .

Coming up on "100 days" to go!

Greetings blog world!

In looking at the calendar today, if my calculations are somewhat accurate, it should be about 100 days until I can say, "mission accomplished" and welcome home that long lost son of mine at last. 

There is nothing I have done in my life or ever will do that has required so much faith in what this church of our is all about.  I said before and I will say it forever, a demonstration of my faith in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is evidenced through my unwavering willingness and never-ending support in sending a my young son away from home for two long years to share the light of Christ and a message of hope to any and all who will listen.

When Karl, Haley and I dropped Willie off in Provo, Utah, February 26, 2014, 12:52 p.m., I thought the day of return would never, ever come.  I am pleased to report that the two years will come to an end and I will have that son of mine home again in just over 100 days.  I can do that!  I will make it! The end is in sight!
