Last weekend these 2 missionries were able to reunite with this wonderful family here in Utah. Unfortunately the father has since passed:(. This is the bunch that live here in Utah now (shown with Elder Nelson and Elder Kramer)
We had no idea that they lived here until about a month or so ago. Now that we are here, we have been able to visit with them and last weekend they held a special bbq on behalf of "their missionaries". We also watched a slide show of pictures from these 2 missionaries. The family was so excited! They are the nicest and most loving people you will ever meet! The youngest daughter married a Nelson (not related as far as we know). The original family actually consists of mom, dad and 4 girls and 2 boys (only part of the family is shown here) 2 girls still live in Argentina. We had a blast getting together with them. They are so humble and so grateful to these 2 missionaries for bringing them the gospel. There is nothing better than sharing the gospel with someone. This is just he icing on the cake!
This is how they have grown...some family members missing.
And this is the whole bunch of us!
To see the fruits of your labor is truly a tender mercy of the Lord.
