We are leaving in less than 24 hours....

We have sorted, packed and organized. I have officially closed up the sewing room and our room and the spare room are completely empty..ready for Camden who says she will move in immediately.

Tonight we will be set apart as missionaries representing the Lord.  It is daunting and yet we know we will be guided in our service. 

Our friends held an farewell open house for us and I felt so blessed to have made so many friends in our short four years here in Texas.

We have said our goodbyes and will be heading out for two weeks at the Mission Training Center and then directly to our assignment in San Diego, CA.

I know that our Heavenly Father loves us in spite of our failings and provided His Son, even Jesus Christ so that we may return to him.  I am excited to serve Him for He has blessed us!!

We Have been called....

We are preparing to serve for eighteen months beginning September 1, 2014 in the San Diego, California Mission as Military Relations Specialist to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD).

We are so excited and know that we have been called by the Lord to serve here.

We have been spending lots of time preparing both spiritually and physically.  Packing for 18 months is no easy task :-)

Jim is ready!!  Actually, I think he is more nervous than I am as he knows what is expected of the Marine Recruits since he served for 23 years himself.  For me, it will be a learning experience and I know we will love those we serve...
