"In this family we serve missions!": Large Envelope Arrives!!!

“We need thousands of more couples serving in the missions of the Church. Every mission president pleads for them. They…can leave the grandchildren. Those little darlings will be just fine, and I promise you will do things for them in the service of the Lord that, worlds without end, you could never do if you stayed home to hover over them. What greater gift could grandparents give their posterity than to say by deed as well as word, “In this family we serve missions!”

Large Envelope Arrives!!!

The Following is an e-mail from Dave, to all the Jones family, the day the mission call arrived in the mail:

"Mom says they've received the big envelope from Church Headquarters outlining their mission call to Bolivia. :)

I don't know how they'll handle waiting until tonight (they're serving in the temple until 10:00PM), but they're gonna wait until we can all join them.

I have set up a conference call. It's a free trial conference call service, so hopefully it will work out ok.

The "official" mission call letter opening will take place at 10:15 PM tonight. I plan to start the conference call at 10:00 PM, so call anytime after then.

Hope you can all make it!"
