Last month we said goodbye to our dearly loved Elder. Elder Bell spent over a year in our ward and blessed our home with many visits, including Christmas. Our entire family had grown attached to this magnificent missionary. The last month before he left I had the privilege to speak with him in sacrament meeting. We both spoke on missionary work, of course. I couldn't help thinking how he has helped my testimony grow (and hopefully my children's testimonies as well) and my desire to share the gospel increase. He was a magnificent example to my children and we will truly miss having him around.
Especially since he has been gone for an entire month and hasn't called once. It's like he is just going to move on with his life and forget all about us..... as it should be.
LDS or not, invite the missionaries into your home. They are wonderful young men and women with a great spirit that comes right with them into your home and stays after they have gone. They are polite, kind, service oriented (did my dishes lots) and extremely focused on the Lords cause.

I can't believe he was there a year, that's unheard of!
