Well here it is five weeks since we have left Silver City. It has seemed like we had stepped sideways in time then stepped back in. Yet so many things had changed. Sherry's mom had died, my mom had gotten older, many of the local kids had started driving, my old nursery class had gone on to primary and didn't even remember me.
While we had been gone we had had the opportunity to grow spiritually, by just the need to learn what we needed to teach we gained greater insights to ourselves, religion , each other, and the desire to help others. We found so many good people of all walks of life, and religions that we have felt so blessed with the chance we had to serve a mission.
Our children grew so much, they took care of each other spent time together, and made it a point to include each other their lives.
We so much feel such a deep emotion of gratefulness for the love our children showed for us by taking care of the house, mow the lawn and just wanting to spend a little time at "home" to perhaps feel of our spirits.
Our kids, you children, told us that it wasn't so fun to come to Avon cause we weren't there, I have thought how that's kind of like when we die, the House was there, the yard, our "things" but the heart wasn't there, the spirit, while we came home things have changed. We have changed. I hope that in all of our changing as each of us grow older that the change's are for the good. That we would grow kinder, love each other more, have less time to do useless things, more time to serve, to be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove.
Love Dad
