Called to Serve

 I'm so excited, proud and thrilled for my parents newest and grand adventure in life.  They are off to Cape Hope, South Africa to serve a full time mission for our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.   They have survived raising seven crazy...ahem, I mean wonderful kids...and they still have enough energy and stamina to help others find joy in this wonderful life through learning of Jesus Christ and his plan of happiness.

 They have spent the past week training at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah.  Here they are with their fellow district senior missionaries.  In all, there were 37 senior couples total embarking this past week on their missions.

Saturday was their P Day, and they got the chance to go to the Provo temple.  They had a wonderful time learning to listen to the spirit and how to better share the gospel  with others....and now they are off.  Right now, I hear a plane flying over head, I wonder if they are in that plane on their way to London, England...and then a bit of a layover...and then they're off once again...final destination--Cape Hope, South Africa!
