OUR MISSION CALL

In November of 2007 President Monson, the prophet, seer and revelator of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, called us to serve as Mission Presidents in the Phoenix Arizona Mission. It was a very humbling experience as we accepted the call. Feeling inadequate for the responsibility that was ahead of us, we prayed for strength to prepare for the work. We would be going to the Phoenix Arizona Mission on July 1, 2008, to begin our three year mission to oversee the physical and spiritual well being of about 202 missionaries in the area. Our purpose was to "Invite others to come unto Christ and help them to receive the restored gospel on the earth". Our mission would include quite a large area to preside over. We would go south to Phoenix, north to Flagstaff, and to the Utah border in Page and east across the Navajo Nation to Chinle and to Crystal in New Mexico. It would be very difficult to leave our family and friends for a three year service, but there would be no question that this was what the Lord wanted us to do, and we felt confident that we could do it with his help. We also knew that where much is given, much is expected, and we had been given much.

"We will go where you want us to go dear Lord, we'll be what you want us to be!"
