Happily, we own a new home! It took us many months and we had a hard working angel as our realtor and dear friends that helped us with the mortgage and title. We will be moving in this week which will be a great blessing to us. Unpacking will probably be minimal. Alot may stay packed. Luckily, we won't have to leave it empty because we will have wonderful children living in it and caring for it. We hope this will bless their lives, as well.
It has been a very interesting experience going through soooo much in such a small time period, but we have felt the love of our Father in Heaven all the way through it. Things have not been easy. "Opposition in ALL things" is a true principle. We are also very thankful for so many wonderful family members and friends who have generously blessed our lives.
Behold, I will hasten my work in its time. I give unto you... Teach ye diligently and my grace shall attend you, that you may be instructed more perfectly...That ye may be prepared in all things when I shall send you again to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you, and the mission with which I have commissioned you. DC88:73-80

Officially Called
Well the call is now official as we have received our letter from the Prophet. Before the letter came, in response to our submitting papers indicating our willingness to serve, we had been called by the mission president of the new DRC Congo Mission. He called us to accompany him into the new country and help set up the mission home. Then after everything is in place we will be sent to another country to establish the church amongst thousands, who, like those in Nigeria and Ghana some 15 or 20 years ago also petitioned for membership. After reading the Book of Mormon, organizing into congregations and then wanting authority and the fulness of the restored gospel these faithful saints-to-be recognized that they needed divine authority. We will be leaving sometime in June, still being set, to respond to these new petitions in a new country to a people who hear and recognize the shepherds voice. There is much more to tell but some of that will have to be orally as we speak in Sacrament meeting May 23rd in the Dimple Dell ward in Sandy on 17th east and about 107th south at 11:00am.

While Waiting
We moved from our home of 17 years with the blessed help of our family, wonderful ward members and friends on April 9, 2010 for reasons we did not know. The Martins, our dear friends have generously allowed us to stay in their beautiful studio apartment while awaiting our new home in Draper to be ready. We have submitted our mission papers. We are in the throws of learning and renewing french skills, vaccinations, preparing supplies to be sent to sustain us in the next two years of our lives in a new land. Our adventures are just beginning.
