Farewell

“Apparently, they still will call you on a mission even if you haven’t grown a foot or two”

This is how 5’5” Mitch/Elder Hussey opened his talk last Sunday and it cracked the congregation up.  Our family has laughed out loud several times since then about him saying this, and thinks it is one of the funniest (inside) Mormon jokes we’ve heard. 

He also talked about going to Kanab a few weeks ago and how he didn’t have a way home and the adventure he had finding someone to give him a ride to SLC so he could stay overnight to get a cab early the next morning to the Greyhound station then take the bus the rest of the way to Roosevelt.  He compared that to our life on earth and how Heavenly Father has sent us here, and it is not always going to be easy, but it is our job to do whatever it takes to find our way back to Him.  It was a great analogy.

As Mitch leaves, it has been hard for him to say good-bye.  He has been unsure and a little bit worried about a lot of things, but he also knows the Lord will bless him and he is ready to serve.
