"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." - Pres. Thomas Monson

You Are Hereby Called

Derek and Taylor had a Primary activity today. The theme was missionary work and each child received a "mission call" in the mail. Both of my boys were called to the Berlin Germany Mission. Taylor's eyes lit up when they put the name tag on him. It was adorable.
They divided the kids up by the mission that they were called to. Then they rotated through several different activities. Derek's favorite was the relay race where they had to dress into a suit and pull their luggage to one end of the room and then put the suit back in the suitcase and run back with it to where they started. He was giggling and laughing hysterically, especially when he tried walking in the huge shoes. I wish I'd had my camera.

We'll be interested to see where they are actually called on their missions. Dave had a similar activity when he was in Primary and they called him to the exact mission that he would later serve in for real. Amazing! So, are my boys destined for Germany??
