In preparation for our mission, in stake conference today, Chris was released from the Stake Presidency.  Bishop Weller of Chimacum Ward will be the new councilor. After conference, Allison Woodhouse, a kindergartner from Port Angeles, came up and gave Chris a picture she had drawn.  I had to post it here because it is an African giraffe with lots of missionary name tags on it!

 
On the other side of the paper she also drew a cute zebra and lion, each with a missionary name tag!  So adorable!  We will remember to send her a post card from Africa.

 Chris gave a magnificent talk yesterday in the adult session.  Naturally, the topic was missionary work.  He told of the Lords hand in getting us to this point, which is a couple years ahead of when we thought we would go on a mission.

This Thursday, Andrea should receive her mission call.  Aaaaaaaa!!!!!  Butterflies all over again!  I pray daily that she'll be blessed and have joy in her calling.
