On August 19th, we were back in Sandy for Justin's homecoming there. We stayed at the Farr's house. The Morgan's were kind enough to let us use their home for the luncheon after church. It was nice to hear Justin speak in the ward he had grown up in. One of the elders from his mission sang a hymn in Spanish and it also brought the spirit in.
The celebrations were fun, but the best part of the homecoming is seeing how much the missionary has grown. Elder Moore's testimony increased, he had a quiet confidence, he had changed. His love for the people of Nicaragua was evident in the way he spoke of them and the stories and memories he shared.
I am so grateful for the mission Justin served. He worked three jobs in the months prior to serving his mission so that he could earn the $10,000 required. This was a blessing to him and to me as his mother. I am so proud of him.
Elder Moore, the last two years were invaluable to you, to me, and to the people you were able to teach. May your testimony always burn bright. And may your time in Nicaragua serving the Savior stand as a foundation and a testament that will guide you throughout your life. I love you son!
