Mail -- Call comes

After almost four weeks of waiting, our call came!  We called Susan to come and bring her phone.  We called everyone and all five answered the various phones we were calling on.

We opened the letter and were astonished to read that we are called to the Chile Osorno mission -- the same one that Keith's father was mission president of -- 30 years ago!

We are excited to go but wonder if we can get everything done by November 18th when we enter the mission home in Provo.  Lots to do and not much time to do it.

Preliminary Planning

After almost 2 months of filling out forms, we have submitted our papers for a mission for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  This is something we have been thinking about for a long time.  Keith retired 2 years ago and I retired in May so it is time to go! 

We have arranged for a young couple, Justin and Alexis Bates to live in our home while we are gone -- a real blessing to have someone take care of the house.
