VIDEO CHATS (Ibarra, Ecuador)

I always try to get a screen shot of us talking to Sadie on her p-day-- I won't admit how many times I've started at this pictures later in the week and just cried;  missing our missionary.  What a sweet blessing though and a whirlwind of emotions.  I always ask her if it's helping to talk to her or if it's just hard-- because usually when she sees us, the tears come- but she says it's the release she needs adn then she's ready to get back to work.  It sure is wonderful to see her and hear her-- to ask her questions and feel more involved in her missionary experience.  I am so grateful for the example she is to the kids- to me- to our family.  We are so proud of her everyday efforts to be extraordinary and to qualify for the blessings promised her as a representative of her Savior.
