20 June 2012 – You are called to serve as a missionary….

Thanks to FaceTime we were able to be a part of our grandson Shane Webb and his family as he opened his missionary call. It took some time to gather all the people and Bob kept calling to tell us that it would be a few minutes more. When the time came you could see the excitement on Shane’s face. When he finally opened the envelope and started reading the call he got choked up with the spirit. He will report to the Provo MTC at the end of October and after three weeks he will travel to the Spain MTC before reporting to the Malaga, Spain mission. His mother, Lisa, was the only one to guess the correct mission – but then mothers have always have a special connection to the spirit when it comes to their children.

The famous envelope waiting to be opened. Tears came to his eyes as the full emotion of opening his call becomes a reality. Then the smile as the feeling of peace fills his heart. He will be a great missionary. Of course I once again told him to read and study Preach My Gospel…we will see if he does it. Congratulations Shane!

    Aren’t we ever so grateful for this new technology that enables us to be a part of our families even though we are so far. We have a grandson waiting for a call sometime in the next month. Are you feeling any effects from the storm? I know that we would have if we were still in Florida. Didn’t ever have any problems while on our mission there, but we came just after Katrina hit and what a mess. Couldn’t even get through on the highway we needed to use. Went home the way we couldn’t use coming and it was unbelievable that 18 months later the devastation was still so obvious. Hopefully you are safe and well. Enjoyed the beautiful pictures!

Didn’t ever have any problems while on our mission there, but we came just after Katrina hit and what a mess. Couldn’t get through on the highway we needed to use. Went home that way though and it was unbelievable that 18 months later the devastation was still so obvious. Hopefully you are safe and well. Enjoying your beautiful pictures!
