Yesterday was Jack's big day.
The day he spoke to our congregation & guests (loads of friends there) before he leaves for his mission to Brazil on April 6th.
His topic:the Worth of Souls
I am his mother... but I think he hit it out of the ballpark.
It was beautiful to hear him speak of Christ, the potential in all of us, the gift of this life, and how we should be more like Him by loving one another.
a mother pay day- for sure.
Man I love this kid.
AFter ward, we had a load of teens, family & friend over to eat.Many had come from college etc. with a drive back awaiting them.
It was great to have Ruthie & Greg here & their family. 
You just can't believe h0w many sweet friends brought food & well wishes.
These two seriously saved my bacon.Brittany has skills- catering skills, people skills, hard working dish washing skills & even mopping my floor skills. I couldn't have made it all happen without her- well, I could but it would have been so much harder! thanks brittany- I love you.

"Jack's talk really was amazing. I think 'hit it out of the ballpark' explains it very well!"
