The Call Has Come!!

Celestia and I have been called to serve an LDS mission in the Marshall and Kiribati Islands for 18months!!  We report to the MTC on September 9th and the expected arrival to the Marshall Islands is the 23rd of September.

We have been informed that cowboy boots and basically any clothes that we own are not allowed.  I, Leray, have bought my first pair of sandals!!!  I also got to buy a a snazzy suit!  Celestia has been enjoying the opportunity to go shopping for new clothes.

Now that we are about ready to leave, our kids have come up with all this stuff that they want done: trips, camping, cabinets built, and a baby blessing!!  They are keeping us busy and making the time fly by.  We are enjoying the time we get to spend with them [mostly the grandkids they have less demands :-)].

We will now use this blog to keep you updated, so bookmark it!
