Alex turned 19 earlier this month. He turned his papers in early and received his call a couple of months ago to the Orlando Florida Mission. He will report to the MTC on August 3rd.
Yes, this makes three missionaries for our family. They will be serving concurrently for about 4 months. It is frightening to consider the $1200 per month it will cost us to keep them all in the field, but our experience with having two missionaries serving at once has shown us that with God, nothing is impossible, and that every prayer is heard and answered. We are so grateful for family and friends who have helped us keep our kids on missions.
Meanwhile, our other two missionaries are doing great. Michelle is loving Louisiana. She is currently serving with a Sister that was in the MTC with her. She was surprised to have such a seasoned missionary for a companion, as her mission president told her she would be training for most of the remainder of her mission. She is serving in a town called Houma, pronounced "How-ma." Michelle has been in the field for a year now.
Andre was recently made a District Leader. He takes his responsibilities quite seriously, as is his nature. He gets along great with his companion and has high expectations. He doesn't write very long emails, so we have to read between the lines a lot. :) He has worn out his shoes--again. Andre has been serving in South Carolina for 18 months.
The rest of the clan are enjoying summer break, with scout camps and girls camp and an upcoming ward pioneer Trek, which Paul and Karen are in charge of. It is a lot of work getting everything in place for a successful Trek experience. It is going to be a busy summer for our family.
