Called To Serve (when I have grown a foot or two)

Our oldest grandchild, Ty 6, was out with Grandma one day. He said to Judi, "You know Grandma, what I really want is a "Missionary Suit". It took her two minutes to make that happen. It is amazing what a mission call does for a family. We witnessed it when we sent out sons into the mission field and now the shoe is on the other foot. Our children have the chance to send us out and witness the blessings that come with that. We are grateful for the support of our children. We couldn't do this without them. Our grandchildren really don't understand what "going on a mission" is but they are growing up with the pattern of "this is what you do" and one day this is what I want to do. Our calling has blessed our lives in many ways and each day we see how the Lord is watching over our family. This picture represents a tradition that started with our great grandparents and will carry on.
