Our friendly mailman went out of his way to bring us our mission call before he started his actual route. He came to our door and handed it to Mary. I was out doing some errands but when she called to tell me to hurry home I was only about a minute away.

For the third time we opened that magic white envelope and read that we were called to serve in the Florida Fort Lauderdale Mission as office specialists. Our calls to Indonesia and Durban South Africa both said we were called to be office missionaries and both times we ended up serving in a different calling.

We called out children and some of our friends who have been asking us almost every week if we had received our call. Then we wrote our acceptance letters, went to see the bishop so he could endorse them and mailed them back to Church headquarters before they changed their mind.

We then had the privilege of serving our shift at the Bishop’s Storehouse where we kept quite busy for 6 hours.

We truly feel we are blessed by being able to serve another mission for the Lord. We know it is what we should do while our health is good and we have the resources to serve. D&C 4:3 comes to mind – “Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work.” We feel we are called to the work.
