Reunited... and it feels so good!!

OK.  I confess that my blogging skills have been lacking lately.  It's not that I don't care about these fabulous missionaries.  In my 'old age' I'm just getting confused as to where I have already posted things and where I haven't.  Between the church bulletin board, writing letters and sending out quarterly newsletters to each missionary I forget where and what I've posted.
Anyways, enough of my lame excuses, here is one of my favorite recent pics.  Can you only imagine what kind of a reunion this was?  I can just hear the two of them laughing away and imagine them jumping around and hugging eachother. I can see it in my mind's eye as though I were standing right there with them.  Only in 'the land of smiles' could this type of reunion take place.  It's like Steve Wilson said regarding Alma 17:2. "Alma did rejoice exceedingly to see his brethren."

I think this really is one of the greatest reunions in scriptural history. It is surpassed only by the story of Joseph of Egypt and his brothers (Gen 42-45). After 14 years of separation, the joy that Alma feels can only be fully appreciated in light of the gospel which they shared. There is something 'heavenly' about reuniting with a loved one, especially when both have been valiant in the cause of truth. We love and miss them both!!! Hoorah for Zion!!
