Last evening our wonderful stake president, President Clark, came by our home to set us apart as full-time missionaries, so we are official! He first visited with us for a while, trying to learn details about our mission assignment and sharing some advice from his time as mission president. Then he gave each one of us a long and detailed blessing, with lots of specific promises, which we look forward to seeing fulfilled.
I've never kissed my mission companion before. Life is good. <g>
As promised, I was able to get rid of all our old food and a box full of papers by "sharing" space in our neighbors' trash bins this morning, thanks especially to Marilyn & DaveC. We are still scurrying around packing and putting things away before heading to the airport in a few hours.
