Barbara and I were totally surprised when we thought we were going to dinner with Lea and the Sisters Minter and Perdue and, instead, about thirty friends were waiting for us to say goodbye and wish us well. How cool was that! I will post pictures when we get some from Lea. How great it is to have wonderful friends who support us.
A week ago we met with the High Council and told them our feelings about our mission and bore our testimony. They also wished us well and gave us a journal to use. The week before that we spoke in Sacrament meeting, so we are ready to move on to the MTC and the real world of missionary work. We will be set apart this Thursday by the President Barlow. All of our kids and grandkid here in Simi Valley will be there with us. We are grateful for their love and support as well.

It's Official!
Here it is... the very first post to the mission blog. We fly into Salt Lake City on Saturday, March 3rd and Shaun & Kristy will be dropping us off at the MTC in Provo on Monday, March 5th. We're hoping to keep you updated when we can. Thank you to everyone for your kind messages of support and love. See you in 18 months!
