| We got a very big surprise in December 2020. My parents wanted to have a call with us about something. We could tell it was a big deal...we didn't know if it was good or bad or what. Turns out, they were being called as mission presidents! We weren't allowed to tell a soul. We didn't know where their call was to for a few more weeks. I initially was so excited about it! I thought maybe they'd go to California or New York or even France and could visit them every year or something. And then--they got their call. This screen shot is from the call when they told us where they were going: the Vanuatu Port Vila Mission. Basically the farthest place in the world they could possibly go. It came as quite a shock to them (and us). Though we and they were really excited! |
 |
| This is from their farewell day. It was such a special day. A lot of people came to hear them and celebrate them and their call. It's been so cool for our kids to see them go through this process. |
 |
| I love these two so much. |
 |
| My parents generously treated us all to Ruth's Chris as a celebratory departure dinner. It was so fun and special to be all together. |
 |
| Just a few days before they left us girls went to dinner with my parents to celebrate my mom's birthday. I love her so much. It was so hard to realize they were leaving. Because of Covid we all thought they would leave a bit later and would be delayed. So I felt a little robbed that they actually left on time right at the beginning of July. :) |
 |
| They day they left! Saturday, July 3. Max started throwing up right as we were leaving so Cameron had to stay home with him. |
 |
| Watching them walk away was an incredibly emotional moment. So, so hard. But I am so proud of them and their desire and willingness to serve such a difficult mission. |
