Missionaries for Real!

Glen and I were set apart this morning as full time missionaries by President Gary Garrett, First Counselor in our Sharon East Stake Presidency.  President Garrett was our former bishop so it was really wonderful to visit with him, and then have him give us both blessings to prepare us for "Our Mission to Denmark."

Well family and friends, it's official now!  Dad and I are real missionaries assigned to the Denmark Copenhagen Mission, and we report to the MTC here in Provo in the morning!  It has seemed like it has been a long time coming to get to this point, but as we reflect back on the past several months, we see the Lord's hand and timing in our lives.  We have received many blessings and many answers to prayers by waiting patiently (yes, Dad is becoming more patient, too!) for August to come.

President Ezra Taft Benson said:  "Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can.  He will deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, raise up friends, and pour out peace.  Whoever will lose his life in the service of God will find eternal life."

We are excited to be at this point in our lives and will now gå fremad i tro.  (Go forward in faith.)

We will  post a picture with real missionary name tags as soon as we get them.
