I am the oldest child in a family of five children. My father joined the Church when I was seven, and both my two sisters, my two brothers and myself served a mission. My sisters are not married, but my brothers had six daughters, three of them serving missions and one preparing to go. But my oldest son - now 18 - does not want to hear about going on a mission, which came to me as a shock. I am grateful to Greg for sharing his experience and insights with us. It does help me to make peace with this issue and discover the "true gospel" in the process.
