My sweet parents have been waiting for this day for 3 years!! They had plans to put in their mission papers, just before my dad was diagnosed with Cancer. After one terrible year, and a couple more of playing the waiting game, they finally were able to submit their papers and receive their call. They have been called to serve in the Dominican Republic, Santiago Mission, working in the Perpetual Education Fun Self Reliance Center. They wont technically be working IN the center, or in an office at all, they are so excited to be out in the communities serving the people and helping them to receive education, get employment and better their family circumstances. They are so excited and can't hardly wait. My mom is already practicing her Spanish, and has some lessons coming up that sound like they will be pretty intense. My dad keeps talking to her in Spanish hoping it will help move the process along.
They leave for the MTC on December 1,2014. We are all so excited for them to be able to go out and serve and do exactly what they have wanted to do their entire lives. I will miss them like crazy, and so will Lucy, but we plan to take our little family out to visit them next Christmas! :)
Congratulations Elder and Hermana Francis!
