Nashville or bust

As members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, both young men and young women are encouraged to dedicate either two years, (for the young men) or eighteen months (for the young women) to serving and teaching others about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. We are all children of a loving Heavenly Father, and He has a great plan for us, a plan that allows us to live in eternal families in His presence. There are currently about 74,000 full time missionaries serving worldwide in 418 missions, and they are changing people's lives every day.

But it isn't only young people who serve missions....

Senior couples can serve missions as well, helping to spread the gospel, as well as serve those they encounter, and it just so happens that my dad and step-mom are going to do just that!

They received their mission call, or their assignment, in the mail just a few days ago, and I am thrilled to announce that they will be serving in Nashville, Tennessee starting on February 13th, 2017, and they will be serving for 23 months! I could not be happier for them, even though this means that they will be away for two years. But I know that this is an opportunity for them to help change and shape lives, bring joy and happiness to many people in Nashville, as well as make some wonderful memories. Congrats to dad and Colleen! I think it's safe to say that many adventures await you in Nashville.
