Okay so here is some BIG news! Mom and Dad have been called by the First Presidency of the Church to serve a service mission in Adam-Ondi-Ahmen, Missouri. This came as a shock to all of us! They went in to see the Stake President on what they thought was a routine visit for a class they teach, they soon thought wrong!
Well, they made the announcement in Church yesterday so we can officially start to talk about it. I think lots of people were shocked, but also very excited for mom and dad. We are very excited about this and feel that we as a whole family are going to be so blessed to have them serve this mission! Although, like we sisters said in church yesterday, it is going to be hard to share our parents with the people in Missouri, but the people in Missouri are going to be just as blessed for getting to know these two GREAT members of the church.
We are will miss them a ton, but they will be back before we know it! And, in fact, they actually don't leave until the end of February, so we will be getting in lots of time with them before they leave! Plus, we will plan a trip to go and visit!
Love you MOM and DAD! We are so proud of your decision! Good Luck!

How great! Our community will miss them while they are gone. They are such a wonderful couple
Mom was just telling me about that yesterday - I got the chills!! What a neat place to go. Tell them congrats for me!
That is amazing - i love your parents so much it will be so sad not to visit with your mom on sundays. Your parents are amazing. Even though it is sad they are leaving I am thinking that maybe this means you will have a house to stay in that is in our ward:)
What a great experience for your family -
