I can't help but wonder what he looks like. Two years can really change people. I'm sure he looks the same, but different. As we will all to him. I wonder if the babies will remember him? I know Mason will remember him. But will he feel as comfortable with him?
The meaning of a mission is below. But since my religion is different, I tend to be more selfish with the idea of a two year mission. I want to talk, when I want to talk. Have my family close by. See my family, when I need too. But he made it. Two years! Two years! Two YEARS! Way to go Alex. You have served and you will be released to come home very soon! We can't wait to see all the way's you've changed. We are ready to welcome home the missing Miller Link, you- Alex Nelden Miller! See ya and Love ya!
From Wikipedia the definiton of an LDS Mission, a rather short version:
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has an active missionary program. Young men between the ages of 19 and 25 (usually beginning at the age of 19) are encouraged to prepare themselves to serve a two-year, partially self-funded (the LDS Church pays for transportation, health and dental care, the MTC stay, leadership, etc. the missionary pays a monthly amount), full-time proselytizing mission. Young women and retired couples may serve missions as well. Young women who desire to serve as missionaries serve at an older age, 21 or older, and often for only one and a half years. Missionaries typically spend one to three months in a Missionary Training Center where they study the scriptures, learn new languages, and otherwise prepare themselves to teach the Gospel and understand the culture in which and the people among whom they will be living. The LDS Church has about 53,000 missionaries worldwide
