Samuel Smith and us at the Missionary Training Center. We are learning how to teach the lessons. But we got just 4days there as our mission President wanted us in Singapore by Sunday so we are off on Friday morning for a flight to Tokyo Japan (12 hours) and down to Singapore (7:30 hours) a long long day!!

Turn this one sideways!!!!

We didn't know how?? but if you do you will see our sweet grandchildren!

We were blessed with many of our family members there to witness our setting apart for our mission, as Dylan's date of entering the MTC was just 3 days after ours. Sheli and her sweet children and Bernie and Zak. Believe it or not but we all were invited to stay at the Washburns in Salt Lake City, in their apartment, with a fridge and cubbord full of food. We are more than grateful for such kindness. Thank you from all of us.

As I had just had surgary(gal bladder removal) 5 days prior to this picture, Pres. Hamblin suggested my two wonderful grandsons give me a health blessing. Zakary had just returned from a mission in Boise Idaho and Dylan just leaving for his mission 3 days after grandpa and me. The words spoken in my behalf left me without doubt that all would be well. Thank you sweet faithful grandsons!

After attending Sunday morning session our stake president Pres. Garth Hamblin and his wife Sandy walked with us to the Joseph Smith building where he set us apart and gave us wonderful blessings. Thank you for your faithfulness!!

So the journey begins!! The day of our setting apart as missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Sunday October 3rd after the Sunday morning session of conference. This took place in the Joseph Smith building in Salt Lake City.
