Called to Serve

Kameron got his mission call yesterday! : Independence Missouri It covers most of Kansas too. He'll be speaking english and he leaves November 7. He will only have to spend about 3 weeks in the MTC. He is the first one in his family to serve in the United States and to speak English! 4 of his siblings served in South America-ish, all speaking spanish. He has one sister-in-law who served at Temple Squre though ,so I guess he's not really alone. He is so excited and he knows that Independence is exactly where the Lord needs him. I'm happy because it won't take letters a million years to get to him and his mom is excited that she can send all the packages she wants. I'm so proud of him and grateful that he gets the opportunity to preach the gospel in Independence, and I'll miss him like crazy.
This is us with his call. My hair is straight.


These are some giant faces that used to be on a billboard. Now they are leaning against a building near the Exxon gas Station by the freeway. I'm
picking his nose. That is Morgan McAllister with me.

I just sent some young men out on mini-missions and one of them just emailed me (I don't know all the rules regarding internet usage anymore, but I'm hoping he didn't break any rules) and he said he has been overwhelmed by the spirit in the first 2 days and he is so happy to serve.

Cool, about Kameron and his mission call. Ew, about picking the nose! Why didn't your friend Morgan help out on the other side?

Congrats to Kameron. Only the coolest people go state side. He must be really righteous or something. You'd better hang on to that one!!

I AM PECULIAR (this is a permanent post. If you have already read it, scroll down to see my latest)

Those of you who read my blog could probably make a list of all the reasons that you think I am a bit peculiar. No worries, I would be the first to shout an amen to everything you could think of. I know I’m peculiar; but let me tell you the number one thing on my list that I think makes me a peculiar person.

I know where I come from, why I am here and where I am going. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some of you will know me as a “Mormon” although that is just a nickname. The word ‘Saint’ just means ‘member’ in this context. I believe in God the Eternal Father, that I am a daughter of God, and that He loves me and wants me to be happy. I believe in my Savior Jesus Christ who lived a perfect life, atoned for my sins, died and was resurrected all that I might enjoy the blessing of being forgiven of my sins, and having my body and spirit reunited after death. I know that just as God called prophets in the Old and New Testament times that He has in fact called a prophet to lead and guide us today. I believe that families can live together for eternity; death does not have to be the end of our relationships with the ones we love. Some of you may wonder how on earth I can know these things. As I learn more and more from the Bible and other scriptures and actually live what I learn I see the promises the Lord has made being fulfilled in my life, and I feel the Holy Spirit bear witness that these things are true.

I know, I’m peculiar, but thankfully there are over 13 million other peculiar members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and with each year that number grows. I feel so much joy and happiness in my life because of this knowledge. If you want to know more depth about anything I have said that makes me peculiar, visit www.mormon.org. This website explains in detail much of what I have just professed to believe and more.
