This is such a fun family and I am so excited for the oldest son Joel. He is leaving next week to serve a two year mission in Houston, Texas for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We took some mission pictures for him (and really for his mother who has raised such a fine young man!) at the Draper Temple, and then did some nice family shots. Joel looked so happy and is so excited for the service which he will provide over the next two years.
“Now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men. Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day. Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work; For behold the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul; And faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify him for the work. Remember faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, diligence. Ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” D&C 4:1-7. Good luck Joel, you will be a great missionary!
