It has been over eight years since I first entered the MTC. It was a nice Utah spring day on April 12, 2006 when I was supposed to report for the commencement of my mission. I had been called to serve in the Paraguay Asuncion Norte Mission and like many; I had no idea where Paraguay was located. 

Several weeks ago my little sister received her mission call. Many fond memories flooded my mind as she read aloud her calling papers. I was reminded of the many wonderful people I served and served with. I specifically recall a family I taught in an area called Remancito. They are the Urquhart family. I remember the struggles and trials my companion and I went through in order to help this family in accepting the gospel. 

I am so grateful for those difficulties. A little over a year after their initial conversion, I was able to attend the temple with this sweet family as they were sealed for time and all eternity.
