We were so lucky to be able to visit Brad's mission president and his wife in Nauvoo before Jon-Michael and Kira's wedding(more on this later). The Ludwigs were with Brad his entire mission and had a profound effect on him. They have had a special place in our hearts and have been with us in our journey, even writing one of Brad's letters needed for entrance to medical school. They are now completing their four year call as mission president of the Nauvoo mission and will head back home to Colorado in January. We are so glad we got to visit with them before they left!!!
