Opening His Call

After coming home from being out with Jeff and our friends, Dean and Shannon Harmon, on Friday, January 23rd, our house was filled to the brim with family and friends, all orchestrated by Skyler in surprising me with his mission call arriving...

Skyler trying to help his Mom understand that his mission call arrived, Mom in unbelief!

But very happy and excited!

Third Time is a Charm

They say the third time is a charm... well, he is that!

Skyler turned his mission papers in in January.... unbeknownst to his mom! He, Jeff and Bishop Morrill worked together in getting them prepared and off. He arranged for his papers to arrive at our friends, the Adams, home. Here is Skyler with Spencer and Sam Adams when his call arrived on Thursday, January 22nd.
