Elder Hissong

Last night the missionaries came over to visit with our family. It has been a while since the missionaries have come to our house. Taylor and Luke love the missionaries and get so excited (or should I say wild?!) to have them over. We met Elder Hissong who is from Nashville. When we discovered he is from Nashville, we told him my parents recently moved there. He asked what part, we told him Brentwood, and as the conversation continued we discovered that his home ward is my parents ward. He doesn't know my parents since he left for his mission as they arrived in Nashville. However, he was so ecstatic to meet people who had a connection to home. It was cute to watch him reflect on Nashville and to describe the streets you would take to get to his house from my parents house. Now that we have met him, we will keep an eye on him and pass along reports to my parents to give to his parents. I guess his mom is the R.S. president in my parents ward. Mom and Dad, you can tell his parents that he has a lot of contacts and seems to be experiencing a lot of success in this area. He was very genuine, kind, and sweet. You can tell he really misses his family and Nashville, but loves San Diego. What a small world, huh!
