It's OFFICIAL...

It was a little different today during the Sunday service, This would be his last Sunday in our ward. I couldn't help but look at him with such great awe because he had turned out to be a pretty good son. He seemed to stand  taller than before  and the  twinkle in his eyes make you smile . The light of the gospel shines in him.  He looked so different in so many ways. My boy had changed into a man.

As he lovingly placed his head on my shoulders, I couldn't help but to reminisce those times when he was just a little boy in my arms. Oh how I long to look into his bright,wide eyes. Trying to understand what he was thinking as he touched my face with his tiny little chubby hands, I loved those tender moments. He was full of amusement and wonder. Still fresh from our Heavenly Father's presence.

But now, he is a man with a strong  desire to serve God and sacrifice his time and effort for two years. And as we gathered tonight with our Stake president, Nathan's face shone with excitement and at the same time, of humility. of what is about to transpire.
As the brethren placed their hands over his head, wonderful words of  blessings were pronounced for him. Great things are in store as he would enter the world of missionary work. Reassurance of faith and testimony as he would obey all of the mission rules. Oh  how we love that boy. We know that he will be a great influence on the lives of many people in Jamaica.
