We Finally Got the Call to Serve!

Saturday afternoon Oct. 8th, we gathered our sons and their families at our home to open our mission call. Our daughters, the Millers, Cases and Hayes families, were watching or listening via skype or cell phones.  Darren's and Nathan Berrett's families joined us--even Shea Danner was present.  It was a complete surprise, very humbling, and a total blessing to be called to serve in the Greece Athens Mission as "member and leader support missionaries"!!!

 How thankful we are for this wonderful call to serve the Lord! We hope to be ready to enter the MTC in Provo on November 28--only seven weeks away!! This picture shows some of us at our weekly temple date, Darren and Melanie, Aaron and Kim, Nathan and Kathy Berrett (Donna's sister), Virgil and Lucy, Barry, Bryan and Donna, Dennis and Erica.

  2. Great blog and Pictures. That top picture speaks volumes of how you both felt when seeing Athens, Greece. Terrified, excited, emotional. Thanks, Dad for letting me sit on your lap.

  3. Wow! You will actually get to see Mars Hill where Paul bore his testimony to the the philosophers who were always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. How neat.
