Friday

Watch for a text message from me on Friday morning. We got a call Friday saying we have been assigned a mission call. It will probably arrive Thursday here in St.George, but Rick doesn't fly in until Friday so I will have to wait for him to get here for us to open it together. Then we decided we will send out a text to all 9 of our children at the same time. It will be a long week for Rick and I...praying the Lord remembers certain things about your mom...that she hates to be too cold, that she hates rascals, you know all these things as does the Lord....Rick hates the heat so what can He do with us? We will serve where we are asked to go. It would just be nice to be comfortable, but oh well, Jeff showered with bats and had rascals in the sink while he ate. I guess it all works out the way it is supposed to, but the first time they put an entire goat head on my dinner table, I am sure I will upchuck right then and there. McDonald's may become my best friend after I have ignored it all these years since the boys left home. And if they put a pig head on the table, I think me and bacon would part ways as well. Hallie would love that!! Oh well, my excitement this week will be trying to get through the week. My position is posted at work and they have 4 candidates. I am a lame duck now. boohoo. 46 years of nursing and I am happy and sad as well. I know today is a milestone (a sad one) for my kids. I am thinking of each of you and hope you are having good memories of your Dad today. I love you and wish you every good thing in life. One of the reasons for Rick and I serving a mission is the hope that our children and grandchilren will be blessed while we are gone. this is one of the promises. Love, Mom
