Papers Submitted

Alex has finished his paperwork and is now waiting for his call. If anyone wants to weigh in on where you think he is going - send it in!!
We have been told that it will take between 2 and 3 weeks to receive his call! (picture the jeopardy theme) Waiting - and - counting the days!

American Idol

Well another season of Idol and Biggest Loser are over. I never use to watch this stuff, but different people have gotten me interested in them. I didn't vote, but believe Adam has the most all around talent, although personally I like Kris Allen's voice better - apparently so do a lot of other people. I have posted 2 of my favorites on the side bar.
Tonight my favorite starts - So You Think You Can Dance - Thanks Aunt Holly for getting us into this several years ago. I don't get to watch my own children perform anymore, so I watch other peoples kids on TV - except sports of course.

Soon to be Missionary

We are finishing the process for submitting Alex's mission papers. He needs to have an interview with the Bishop and then the Stake President - then we wait! Which picture do you think we should send in with his forms:

Who wants to be notified when the call comes?

Here is what President Henry B. Eyring said about the inspiration of each mission call:
“I have had [many] experiences feeling of the Holy Ghost…But I’ve never felt what I have felt as I have…participated in the assigning of missionaries…Because of technology, it is possible for us to have your picture and the information about you displayed. And then quickly, on that same screen, all the missions of the Church with all of their needs are displayed. Within minutes, and sometimes less than a minute, the impression comes so powerfully that it would be, if it were a single instance, something that you would never forget. Can you imagine sitting there for hours at a time, having that happen time after time without interruption? I testify to you that it is real…[The Lord] somehow not only knows you but loves you enough to ensure that your call is where He needs you to go to teach the children of our Heavenly Father.” (Pres. Henry B. Eyring, “Called of God,” address delivered at the Missionary Training Center, Aug. 26, 1997).
