Yippee!!! Gaige got his mission call and more!

 Gaige got his mission call and lots of his friends and some family and neighbors came over (it was a packed house) to be there when he opened it.  They also streamed it on Facebook for everyone else.  He's going to the California, Roseville Mission and will start his MTC work on June 24th!  We are so happy for him!  That's near the Sacramento area of CA!  Can't wait for him to get started...on my birthday!  So proud of him for working hard and doing what's right so this wonderful opportunity to serve the Lord can be a part of his life.  Congratulations Gaige!  

Another congratulations is in order!  Madi got her braces off!!!  Doesn't she have a beautiful smile!

WE don't get to see these girls as much as the ones down here close to us!  Aren't they all beautiful in their matching Easter dresses!!!

Tavin is off to the Philippines

Monday evening we went over to wish Tavin and early Christmas and farewell.  He liked his present - a portable bidet - which may come in handy where he is going.  The next day December 3rd, his family took him down to Las Vegas to board his flight to head off to the MTC in Manilla, Philippians.  We are going to miss him here, but we are proud of the fine young man he has become and the preparation he has made to be a missionary.  Knowing he's on the Lord's errand will see us through until he comes back.
