We were so excited to open our Mission call and to find out that we were going to the London Temple as missionaries. Our papers said to report to the MTC in Provo on November 12, 2012, and that we would spend two weeks at the MTC, and 18 months on our mission.
We were happy that Linda and Paul Bingham, my sister and her husband, were able to come to our Mission Farewell. They were called to the Palmyra Temple and left a couple weeks before we did, but they were able to come to see us before they left. My mother, Virginia Price was there with us too.

We were able to go to our newest little granddaughter, Lucy Berg's, baby blessing in Utah.

We were sad that Kenton and Brittney weren't able to come with Afton, and Emme from Boulder, Colorado, and also Matthew and Yvonne with their family. Abigail, Saylor, Talon, and Rigdon who were living in Dubai.
Our Stake President, President Robert Marcum
set us apart as missionaries.
We are excited to be serving as Temple Missionaries
in the London Temple.
We arrived at the Provo MTC on November 12, 2012
and are excited to start our new adventure.
We loved everything about the MTC. Our teachers were all amazing.

This is a beautiful picture of the Savior. He is the reason
we are serving a Mission. We love him and are so thankful
for all that he has done for us. We know that he loves us!!
We want to help other people feel of his love.

Our room was similar to a motel room.
It was very nice and adequate for all our needs.
Beautiful pictures wherever we go.
