We've been in Lima for almost two days.  We feel great.  We've cried several times however.  It happens when we think of our kids and our sweet little grandchildren.  We love having Viber so we can call and text, but being so fresh on the mission our hearts are still a little tender and tears come easily when we hear of Romney declaring that she can't be in our home (while Mom does the final cleaning) because there are too many memories.  Or Stone walking from room to room while there asking, "Lolly?  Pop?" Or Addy crying in her bed the first night or two wondering how life will be without her Lolly and Pop for a while.
We love and miss everyone so much it paralyzes us at moments several times a day.  We just have to stop and let the tears flow for a minute or two and then we're okay.  And I do mean 'we'.  Dad is more sensitive than I am at times.  He really can't speak about any one of you yet without crying.  I guess we need to heed President Hinkley's father's advice and "Forget ourselves (or rather-all of you) and get to work."  The work is interesting and doing a lot of good.  We're so happy to be involved in this cause.  Giddy up!
