"We Are All Enlisted"

Elder Holland, at the most recent general conference, gave a talk on missionary work. Part of that talk, he dedicated to the senior couples of the church. And he gave this promise:

Those little darlings(grandchildren) will be just fine, and I promise you will do things for them in the service of the Lord that, worlds without end, you could never do if you stayed home to hover over them. What greater gift could grandparents give their posterity than to say by deed as well as word, “In this family we serve missions!”

I don't think I can ever say enough how proud I am of Mom and Dad serving a mission. They are an incredible example to their children and their grandchildren.
