I am a Missionary :-)

:-) Well, it is official.  I am now a set apart missionary.  The Stake Presidency, my bishop, and Brother Bill Daily set me apart as a missionary after sacrament meeting.

:-( I received some sad news yesterday.  My mission companion has not received her visa yet and on top of that she has broken her arm.  She will not be able to travel for another four to six weeks.  Missionaries always go out in pairs (sometimes there are three somes, but never alone).  I will temporarily get another companion at the Missionary Training Center and in Logan.  

#-) Sunday night there was an Open House for me.  It was a wonderful opportunity to say good bye to friends and receive well wishes.  Thank you to everyone who came.  I appreciate your support, love, and enthusiasm for me.
 
B:-) Saturday Carolyn and I head for Utah.  Next week at this time I will be in the Provo Missionary Training Center.  I am excited!
