I Hope They Call Me on a Mission...

My sweet parents have gone to serve as Mission Presidents for 3 years in the New Zealand, Wellington Mission.


We had the entire family together for one last weekend of family events and their farewell.














And we were lucky enough to have baby D come a week before my parents left so we could all cuddle him!


We attended my parents farewell on Sunday, spent some time together as a family and said our goodbyes! As Mission Presidents, my parents are able to communicate with us through email, phone, and skype while in the mission field, so that made it a little easier to say goodbye :)

Grandma and Grandpa with all the grand kids. Sweet Jocie wouldn't look at the camera until we told everyone to be silly...



Two of my sister's and their families:








My parent's with our family friend's- a family my dad baptized on his mission:


My dad's former bishop presented them with the original doorknob to the Salt Lake Temple. His construction company replaced the doors of the Temple years ago and he was able to keep the doorknobs, one of which he gave to my parents.



We already miss mom and dad, but know they are exactly where they are supposed to be.

WOW! An original doorknob! That is the neatest gift I've ever heard of. Your family is so darling!
