Home Sweet Mission Home

September is here!  Just to quickly review...From the moment we stepped off the plane in July we have hit the ground running! After being treated to some Texas hospitality...

 we visited the office, met the senior couples office staff, and were then taken to the Mission Home, where it would be "home sweet home" for the the next 3 years.  The Sagers kindly gave us some last minute counsel, handed over the mission phones, mission cars, along with their duties, responsibilities, encouragement.... and then just like that they were gone!  It didn't take long for our new mission cell phones to start ringing and to comprehend that we were suddenly responsible for over 26o missionaries! We felt....we felt....we felt.... well we just felt.   We spent Saturday unpacking and attempting to make our mission house a home, especially for Jessica and Jacob.

A comment was made by one of the kids that this will be what the kids will fight over when we have passed on.  There have been many prayers of thanksgiving, gratitude and pleading around this table and many more to come.
"Home Sweet Mission Home"!!
