Wow, We Laughed then cried

Wow, that was so fun to watch that movie--3 times.  What fun memories we have of all those pictures!  And the fun music, we laughed, then the powerful ending--we cried, seeing all of you smiling at us!!!  What joy!!  To have the privilege of us all being in the same family!!!  Wow, you look wonderful!  Thanks Andrea for the movie, and thanks all of you for your love and support!!
Love, Mom & Dad

Mission Movie

Mom and Dad,

We love you!!!

Note from Andrea: I've been working on a video for my parents. Today is the last transfer day until they go home. To celebrate this milestone I gathered all the pictures my mom has sent throughout their mission and made this movie. I thought it would be a nice way to wrap of their experience and to celebrate the time they've spent serving the Lord in the Dominican Republic. The pictures, of course, are not in complete chronological order, and I don't seem to have any of when Amy visited, but it's just a glimpse of senior couple mission life. Just for fun I threw in some favorite TV tune themes in the middle. I knew it would make them laugh, before they cry again at the end.

Dear Schmidt's,

Time is flying by way too fast! Thank you for all of the pictures that you forwarded to me they're wonderful! I just wanted to tell you guys that I'm so thankful for your help and service and that you are the best missionary couple in the whole world! I learned a lot from you both and your examples through service and humility. I really look up to your guys!

I hope that you are still enjoying the mission (I know that you are) I pray and hope that you are blessed with the Spirit and that all is well with you and your families.

Thanks for everything


Anthony Robinson
