Mission!

My parents got their mission call last night. They have been called as welfare missionaries to Moscow, Russia. My dad, who spent 6 weeks in Russia 12 years ago, is thrilled. My mom - is terrified. I am jealous. They are going to speak with the fellow in charge of welfare missions today and will be able to learn more about their assignment and then I'll know more. They leave April twenty-something and will serve an 18 month term. Hooray for them!

Wow! What a mission call! If your parents are anything like you and Jay--Moscow look out! I hope that Scott and I can be in a position to do that someday! That's very exciting!

I am sure they will love it. My parents have a HUGE soft spot for the Philippino people now, and that was the one place my mom hoped they wouldn't get called to. Wish them luck!

Russia! Holy Cow! I didn't even know your parents were waiting for a mission call, and wow! Russia! Good for them. Your parents have so much to give and teach that Russia will never be the same. Congrats to them!
