Missionaries

Speaking of missionaries, we have so many faves coming and going right now! We joked at the Spears last night that it’s a good thing we were moved back into Sugar Creek Ward because we'd be visiting all spring and summer long for farewells and homecomings of so many beloved members of the Lord’s battalion. 

This week we have Trey H called to the Copenhagen, Denmark mission. 

Then Quincy’s good pal Will, was called to serve in Mexico City. 

Last night Zack, Shef, Zackie, ZShef, Elder Shefchick opened his mission call in a very packed house. He will be serving in Montevideo, Uruguay. 

We have so many friends and family serving the Lord right now. It’s so fun to have our inboxes flooded with missionary emails every Monday. Tommy, Fin, Isaac, Spencer, Tian, Grandon, AJ, Bradley, Jacen, Max and so many more are all over the world. And now my social media feed is filling up with new friend invites from the wonderful sisters and elders who serve with Reese. Former Sunday school and primary kids of mine Kenzie S, Carson D, Hannah S, and Logan S just finished their missions, this month. Cousin Ella Willardson was called to Ontario Canada, Mandarin speaking. Ethan V will get his call in the next week or two. My aunt and uncle Greg and Tami are mission leaders in Rexburg and my other aunt and uncle Steve and Lisa are working in the Provo service mission. Our friends Connie and Mark Bingham just left for a mission in Prague. It was fun to get this text with my dear friend and aunt together at the MTC! 

Yesterday I went to a Missionary Mom brunch that Tamara Heiner hosts monthly. I liked hearing updates and the experiences our sons and daughters are having in Peru, Japan, Utah, Arizona, New Zealand etc. Each mission is so unique and challenges vary but the Gospel message is the same and everlasting

We ordered big flags for some friends who just received calls for Quincy and some friends to go sneakily hang up at their houses this weekend and celebrate them. 

Hurrah for Israel!
