This morning , we took him to the airport to fly BACK to Lima, Peru. BACK to his mission that he loved so much. BACK to the same security gate that he walked through last August when he left the first time. However, he wasn't the same person today as he was last year. He is a changed young man. Full of the spirit, humble, kind, happy, and at peace with himself. He has learned a great deal and has suffered long. He returns to do full time missionary work for the next 22 months. He has much to do and he is ready to do it. What an example to us all!!! We love you son! God Speed Elder Sivley!! Cannot wait to hear you've arrived safely and are already about the work of the Lord!!
His setting apart last night by our awesome Stake President, President Stuart Alleman. And our bishop, Bishop Nathan Grant, who was absolutely critical in Hunter's growth and progression... as well as our whole family! He supported us through some very hard times! Thank you to both of you!!! We cannot express our gratitude enough.
This was hard earned and reflects well on Hunter and your family. What a blessing to realize how critical the atonement is for each of us as we fall short and pick ourselves up to try again.
