Yay for YouTube!

Pres & Sister Gilbert made their first official YouTube appearance! A few weeks ago they got to go to the Korean EFY. The church invites all the Mission Presidents serving in Korea to go. They said it was an incredible experience!

I guess at one point before they left- Mom & Dad were hugging all the kids and mom looked over and there was this group of 20 or 30 kids just surrounding my dad. Mom said it was an incredible moment seeing his 6'2" frame towering over all these Korean kids but just loving them.

Today has been a rough day for me, I have had one of the worst migraines of my life for the last three days, and it just seems to be getting worse. I have been having a "poor me" day just missing my mom so much. Whenever I've had these migraines before, she comes and picks me up and takes me to her house to take care of me all day. Today laying in bed trying to take care of Porter and myself has been very hard. Then I checked my email and they had sent this video. Needless to say as soon as I saw them I started sobbing- and watched it over and over and over. But it is so amazing to see them actually out doing the work! It just makes me realize how important our sacrifice is.

This is e-mail Dad sent with the video:

"In the middle (of the video: about 3:10 into it) it shows us hugging some of the kids. We were able to hug about half of the 960 attendees. The purpose was to encourage them all to go on missions. We told them all they wanted to come to Busan! After which we gave them lce cream" (peach flavored ice chunks) if they were willing to hug us. It was really fun to be there with the youth of Korea. The EFY is a huge help to them. It is very hard to be a member of the church here. But through EFY they see they are not alone.

Staying good and busy. We were off to a zone meeting today that we did not know was scheduled until 10 last night. Cindy had a partially active sister and two sister missionaries over today to make soap (that is what the sister does) and have a lesson."

(Typical Dad e-mail- short and to the point... Love that man!)
