Getting the Force


L to R: President Whitehead and Sister Whitehead, Me and John

On Thursday, May 27th Opa and I went to the Stake Presidents home to be set apart as missionaries. We were given beautiful blessing. Opa was blessed that he will have strength to perform his responsibilities. We were both told that we were prepared through past callings and experiences to serve in this calling at this time. Opa and I were both told that the scriptures would open to us spiritual insights. We were both blessed with health. And we were told to share our experiences with all of you as we keep a detailed journal.
