Blessings and Sacrifices

This family can now be an eternal family.
Father and son make it complete, except for the little one who is too young for baptism.
Elder Jones and Elder Bishoff

Today we drove to Scarsdale to the mission home and picked up Elder Bishoff who is there re cooperating from his dislocated hip and waiting to fly home tomorrow. We took him to the Spanish ward in Olmstead for the baptism of a father and son who he helped teach. The mother and two of the daughters are members and now the whole family is. What a BLESSING.

Elder Bishoff will go home for physical therapy and to get completely better. His plan is to return here to New York and finish out his last year of his mission. This is a great SACRIFICE for him. He is so nervous about going home. He is an excellent missionary and has had great experiences and success here. He will be greatly missed.

He is also a mighty hunter. Doug and he have lots to talk about when they get together. Elder Bishoff, we will miss you and pray for your quick recovery.
