From A Good Samaritan

Post from Mom - I received this email along with pictures this week and thought it was worth sharing.  It is a comfort to hear from others about your child.  Another tender mercy from the Lord!

Dear Parents,

I have attached pictures of the missionaries (elders and sisters) that we were fortunate to travel with from Atlanta to Buenos Aires on November 4th.  My husband and I along with our 17 year old son were heading to Rosario to pick up our son Elder Peter Welsh who was completing his mission on November 5th.  It was such a delight to travel with these enthusiastic missionaries as they made their way to Argentina.  I'm sure that you heard from your son/daughter that our plane was delayed for nearly 2 hours while we were all on board.  Those missionaries did not waste any time using their enthusiasm and language skills to share the gospel and their spirit with their neighboring passengers.  It was a beautiful site to see and a wonderful way for us to start our trip.  You should be very proud.

I'm sorry this has taken me so long to get these pictures sent off.  I intended to do it while we were in Argentina, but my access to the internet was not as consistent as I would have liked, and our son kept us on the run the whole time we were there.  I have about 50 pictures taken by me and my son at the airport and on the plane (and one at the Buenos Aires Temple).  Some are blurry, but I'm sending them anyways because, as a mom, I know that even a blurry picture of your missionary is a treasure.  

I am happy to have my son home, but I am going to miss his wonderful emails and the blessings that come from having a missionary serving.  Enjoy your next 16-22 months.  They are priceless.
