Where in the World are Grandpa and Grandma this time?

One evening, we were sitting with our friends in St. George and Theron hands me the iPad and says, "What do you think?"  The message was for missionary couples to serve as technology specialists in Fiji.  I replied that we should write an e-mail and inquire.  The rest is history.

We wrote to the couple in the e-mail and they replied within a day and asked us to fill out a little survey of our technical skills.  Within another day, we were asked to prepare a resume and send to them.  A resume for a mission?  We then were scheduled to meet with several technical staff members at Riverton and were 'interviewed'.  The next step was doing a video conference with the ICS Manager at the New Zealand Area Office.  We passed and began completing our mission papers.


We waited most of December and the call finally came the first week in January.  We were assigned to serve as Area Technology Specialists in Apia, Samoa.  The MTC date was set at April 27.  We have now applied for our visas and are waiting for them to arrive.  If the visas can get her sooner than April, we will leave and begin our service to the Lord.

We are looking forward to this second full-time mission and look forward to seeing and witnessing what the Lord has in store for us to accomplish.

As we bid good-bye to 2014, we look forward to the future with anticipation of another wonderful adventure of life!  We are blessed with the most wonderful family in the world.  Our hearts are full of gratitude for our blessed children and their wonderful spouses and the most beautiful, bright, and brilliant grandchildren in the whole world!  We love you!!!

We have an abiding faith and love for Jesus Christ who is our redeemer and loving older brother.  We love our freedoms and the opportunities and blessing that come our way on a daily basis.  We want to exemplify a life of service to all.  What a great future we have - embrace it, love life and love the gospel!
