Called to Serve

Ron and I have received and accepted a call to serve in the Washington Kennewick Mission. We get to live at home this time. We will report to the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah, on Oct. 8, 2012 and will be there around 1 week. We will be in Utah a week or so before we go to the MTC.

Then we will come back up to Washington where we will have the opportunity to work with one of the Spanish speaking congregations here in the Tri-Cities. We will be working with mainly new members in leadership training and ministering to their temporal and spiritual needs.

We, as Senior couple missionaries do not go out proselytizing like the young missionaries. The young Elders will take it from there. We plan to serve for a year or so, then take some time off for some travel, then maybe go again. Perhaps to Mexico next time). Fun and exciting times ahead for us!

Our picture was taken by one of the office couples at the luncheon the other day. We have met the other Senior couples and we have already been able to become friends. This is already such a blessed experience. We love our mission President and Sister Greer. They are great leaders and examples and have so much love and make us feel so valued in the mission already. They let us know how much we are appreciated for whatever we do and know they love each of us as missionaries.

The new groups that just came in this week are amazing. They are ALL so eager to learn and contribute to the work here. It is so comforting to see them all so dedicated to the work. We are glad to be a part of this work and a blessing to be where we are at this time.

Ron and I both feel it is an honor and privilege to be Called to Serve, and 'bring the world His Truth. We have our setting apart on Sunday, September 23. We look forward to the next several days to get ready and drive down to Utah. See you all soon.
