We were trying to be patient as we waited 3 weeks for our mission call! It arrived on Saturday, Jan. 25 while we were in Utah. Jeff checked our mail and told us it had arrived. We decided to wait until Sunday morning to open the letter. It was exciting! We had Rob & Jeff's families come for the grand opening. We had Brian, Kristen and Kevin's families on three different phones as we read our letter. It was a neat experience to share our call with our family.
Glenn and I have been called to serve in the Nauvoo Illinois Mission as full time Pageant missionaries. Our title will be Pageant Administrators. We will enter the MTC on April 6th - what an awesome day to begin our mission! We will serve for 18 months.
We will be responsible for everything except for the artistic directing of the Pageant. We feel so blessed to be able to serve in Nauvoo and especially to be a part of the Pageant. The message of the Pageant can really touch the hearts of those who see it and those who participate in it. It is quite a life changing experience. We hope to see many of our family and friends in Nauvoo! Be sure to find us if you do come. We will be living in the Orson Hyde home which is also the Pageant office. If you ask where the Pageant office is, you will find us! This year the Pageant runs from July 7 - Aug. 1.
Hope to see you there!!
