My Missionary Daughter


Just before Hilary left her sister Cordie took these pictures of her at the Logan, Ut Temple

Hilary is my baby.

Hilary makes a beautiful missionary.

We had a get together and luncheon with family and friends at the house last Sunday for Hilary's Farewell.  She had several friends that had to travel a long way to be here to listen to her speak at church that morning. The week before she had a couple of friends come stay with us from Astoria, Oregon so they could see her before she left.

Showing their silly side. These two boys she met while they were on their mission in Coos Bay, Oregon, while Hilary was attending college there.

Good bye hug.

Posing in front of the Provo Temple just before dropping Hilary off at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Ut, Wednesday, 19, 2012.  It was a bitter sweet moment on such a beautiful day.
We won't see her until we pick her up in Deajeon, Korea in 18 months. I'm already missing her terribly. It was harder than I thought it would be. But we are so proud of such a devoted and upstanding daughter so worthy of serving the Lord. She will be a wonderful ambassador for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints.
