Early Morning!

We were up and to the airport, and Chase was on his way to Salt Lake before the sun came up today. He took a 5:15 flight to Salt Lake and from there he will go to St Louis Mo. He will meet up with other YPM's (Young Performing Missionary) and take a bus ride to Nauvoo. The leaders will be on that bus giving instruction and info pertaining to their responsibilities. They will each meet with the mission president and be assigned companions and then begin their work and practice. We are not sure when we will hear from Chase next, but we assume that we will hear from him sometime before the end of next week.

Chase is checking in at the airport


We waited to see his plane take off...He's off for an opportunity of a life time!


We seem to keep a pretty constant run of missionaries in our family, so our mission reports will continue...just with a different son and a different type of mission for a few months...then he will go on to a two year proselyting mission.

I am so thankful for the opportunities that the Lord provides for us all. There is so much good out there to be found and we must be traveling in the right direction to find it. Here's hoping and praying that we can each be walking on the right path so that we can find those bright rays and beautiful blossoms that will pop up in the middle of nowhere....
