The Best Two Years Begin

And he's off... Kade was ready for his missionary service to begin. His mother and sisters weren't quite as eager. You would think sending a second missionary off would be easier but it's not. My friend said it best as a joyful torture. You know it's what's best but it's still hard. I try not to dwell on all the what if's of disease, danger and going without food but of unselfishly sharing the happiness of the Gospel and inviting all to come unto Christ. We have experienced the wonderful blessing of having one missionary serving, I can't imagine the blessings of having two. Kade has been preparing all his life for this day to begin and now it's here. We love you Elder Eppich. Let the best two years begin.

 

Kade left PSC at 6:25 am enroute to SLC. He had a 2 1/2 hour layover there then headed to JFK. He had many well wishes along the way. Everyone loves to see a missionary. One couple even recognized him from the LDS.org new curriculum training videos. I talked to him on the phone both in SLC and JFK for a few minutes. He sounded great and happy!
