Mom & Dad...Grammy & Gramps...Uncle Blair & Aunt Betty Jane...Blair & Betty, were set apart as missionaries on Sunday evening, August 15, 2010, after a joyous farewell party and are now Elder y Hermana Pack.
Sunday they had Ward Conference and were given the opportunity to bear their testimonies. In a nutshell...Mom cited D&C 84: 87-88 and closed her testimony en perfecto español. Dad expressed gratitude for the Lord's faith in them and said they were going without fear and sadness knowing all is well.
Mom & Dad leave Hattiesburg today, 8/18, then check-in at the Provo MTC on Monday, 8/23, and then leave SLC on Monday, 8/30 for Santiago, Chile.
We are very proud of our parents for accepting the Call To Serve as full-time Spanish speaking missionaries. Though it is extremely difficult (almost unbearable) to say goodbye to them, we know their service will touch many lives, bring them many sweet experiences, and blessings will abound. They have always taught us by example and they continue to be examples of faithful servants to us.
Please join us in praying for Mom & Dad to fulfill the responsibilities of their mission, seek out souls, and be blessed with health and safety. They would love to hear from each of you and their mailing is listed to the right. Love to all!
All Is Well,
Kevin, Beth, Jenny, Emily & Amanda
