My parents received their third mission call yesterday! Yes that's right, THIRD. My parents are amazing people. They are so excited to serve their mission in Sierra Leone West Africa. They leave on January 2nd, 2012 and will return July 2013. We are so happy and excited for them. Even though we will miss them terribly, with the amazing technology we have nowadays we can skype and see them whenever we want (at least we hope :) It's hard to have them gone for so long however we know that this is the best possible thing they could be doing for our family at this time. My parents are smart, they taught all of us children how to be independent and take care of ourselves so that they would be free to serve missions and bring the blessing of the Gospel to those that don't have it. We had no idea about where Sierra Leone is but we do now and we know it's one of the top places they mine diamonds! Hooray for souvenirs right? My parents first mission was in the Philippines, and the second mission was in Keny Africa, so they are familiar with Africa just not this area. We can't wait to hear about all of their adventures and the fun people they get to meet. They are amazing examples to their children and grandchildren!

Thank you for this sweet post. How blessed we are to have family support for our work in building the Lord's kingdom here on earth. Your understanding hearts mean more to us than we can say. How we love you and now we have saints in Sierra Leone and Liberia to love, too!
