We will not be posting every day, we plan to post about once a week, but we want to describe the start of our mission.The quote of the day came from President Calderwood, president of the MTC mission. “You senior missionaries are living the law of consecration. Some of you have sold your homes. You have left behind children and grandchildren. You are devoting your lives and paying for your mission. You are devoting your life and your monetary means to serve the lord.”
They asked each couple several times why we chose to serve a mission. The responses were varied, but for us it was something that we had individually desired all of our married lives. The first thing we talked about, even as we were first dating, was serving a mission. We want to serve to bless our families. We know that as we serve the Lord, his angels will watch and protect our families. Hearts will be softened, spirits uplifted, families strengthened. We want our grandchildren to desire to serve missions for themselves and follow in our footsteps.
This is a special place. The spirit is very strong here and we are glad to be a part of this. We look at all tumult in this world. The chaos, confusion and anger that surround us. This is the lords answer, the thousands of young men and women here are phenomenal. We, with them are gathering Israel and will be instrumental in healing the nations.
