Still at home. Trying to get our Rental Units prepared for new Management and get our family and personal lives all in order.
Barbara Kimber Davies (married to Doug Davies) contacted us over the holidays and shared with us the amazing news that they have been called as New Mission President and wife in the PHILIPPINES, SAN PABLO MISSION and starting in July of this year. Fantastic news!! Doug will be a wonderful Mission President!!
With this news, it became a Priority to sit down together and do a quick 'life' catch up and talk about preparing for serving in the Philippines and how a Senior Couple gets ready and prepared to serve a foreign mission and leave their homes and family for a couple of years. International Driver's Licenses / Phone systems / International Banking / Medications / Immunizations.
Really, it was great to sit down and talk together and compare notes on what we have heard in regards to the Philippines. We will probably not run into each other there, unless we find out that Barbara is bringing someone up to the Manila MTC. It would be grand to run into each other there.
As we get closer to our 'Enter the MTC date', we become more excited and are feeling more and more the promptings of the Spirit.
Both Tharon and I have been released from our Temple Ordinance Worker calling. We miss being in the House of the Lord every Tuesday and Wednesday morning. Those wonderful and dedicated workers there have became like extended family to us.
