New Callings

This has been a wonderful week for us. In addition to our three institute classes, and possibly a fourth class starting in couple of months, serving as a counselor in the Young Single Adult Branch, we are busy doing other things as well.

On Thursday on mission president Calderwood called us to serve as mission historians. We will keep the mission history record, sharing stories and information about new missionaries, out-going missionaries, major meetings and initiatives of the mission.  We will be closely involved in all of the happenings in the mission. It should be a wonderful assignment. We need to be "tech savvy" to get this done, so pray for us.

On Friday we received another wonderful blessing. We went to the Manhattan Temple where we interviewed with Pres. Steve Bennion. He called us and set us apart as temple ordinance workers. We will work the Friday day shift. That would be a wonderful addition blessing. As president Bennion mentioned in the setting apart blessing, this will be the "frosting on the cake." It will give us something to look forward to every week. 

There is much need for senior missionary couples and this mission, and in every mission.
