Andre Got His Mission Call Today!


Andre has been called to the South Carolina, Columbia Mission. The mission covers most of the state of South Carolina, with a little chunk at the top belonging to the NC Charlotte mission and a little bit of the lower part of the state in the Georgia mission. His mission president is the son of Bruce R. McConkie. Andre reports to the MTC on December 16, just 9 days before Christmas. He will spend Christmas at the MTC.

Andre is quite excited. His mission is right below the mission his mother served in, so she can tell him quite a bit about the climate and culture. We are all very pleased with his call.

That is so cool! Two of our boys spent Christmas at the MTC and they loved it. They don't get to call home from there, but an apostle usually comes and speaks to them during christmas time. It is really a spiritual feast!! Maybe Andre could e-mail brett about his call:
8820063@myldsmail.net. He would love to here from him!! Congratulations, your family is in for some wonderful experiences.

Congratulations Andre! I thought I wrote a note earlier, but I guess it didn't go through. You have a lot of fun missionary years ahead with all your boys. Enjoy them. Two years seems long, but it goes fast, especially the last year.

By the way, do you need apples Karen?

Ellen,

Yes, I really want to make applesauce to can. We've used up all my supply of home canned applesauce!
