On April 21, 2016 we received our mission call! We had our family and friends share this exciting moment with us both in our living room and through facetime. We have been called to serve in the England Birmingham Mission and will be leaving for the Provo MTC on September 5th and then leave for England two weeks later. We will be serving in the Mission Office for 18 months. Many of our ancestors came from this area in England and it will be a wonderful experience to serve where these special family members once lived. What a blessing it is to receive this call to serve in England. We are so grateful for our family who support us and are also excited for us to serve a mission. We chose the scripture in D&C 84:88 to put on our title of our blog because we know that our Heavenly Father has called us to this particular mission. As we were preparing for our mission, many events happened that set us up to be called at this particular time and to this particular place. We know that Heavenly Father will be guiding us wherever or whatever we are doing on our mission. We also know that there will be angels to bear us up and inspire us as we serve. There are many angels who are dear to our hearts that once lived in this area of England that we will be serving in and we know they will be with us. As we have engaged in Family History over the years, we have been blessed with the Spirit of Elijah and have a great love for these people. Their stories of faith and love for their Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have strengthened us and inspired us as we read of their trials and joys they experienced in this life. We know that this call is from our Heavenly Father and we have work to do there and pray that we will accomplish the task that Heavenly Father has entrusted us to do. How blessed we are to serve a mission!
