18 Months of Love




(Tiffany is on the left)

"Missionary: Someone who leaves her family for eighteen months so others can be with theirs for eternity" -Author Unknown



She's back! :) My sister Tiffany is home from her 18 month LDS Spanish-speaking mission in Tempe, Arizona. 

For a year and a half, Tiffany spent her time away from our family teaching all who would listen about our Savior, Jesus Christ, our loving Heavenly Father, and their gospel which leads us back to them and offering acts of service to anyone she could. 

I love her and am so proud of her. I know it's her love of the people in Tempe and of Christ that inspired her to work so hard for so long in their behalf. She tells me about biking in 115 degree hot Arizona sun to get to teaching appointments and tears up when mentioning those whose lives changed for good when learning of Christ and the hope and direction His gospel brings. 

I know my sister well and she has changed. I will try to change to be more like her. As her older sister, my parents always stressed that I needed to be a good example for her and Candice (my other younger sister)..... but she's the one that's been the good example for me. I love you, Hermana Kerr :)
