IT'S HERE!

We stopped the mail when we went on our cruise and so as soon as we arrived back in Portland on December 4th we both waited for the mailman to arrive. I was so sure that our call would be waiting in the box when we returned. NO call was there though...it wasn't a big deal but one thing President Hansen said to us in our last interview with him had been pestering me at the back of my mind the whole time we were away. He had said that people are not always given the call that they ask for. These calls are given by the First Presidency and sometimes they need people in other places. I just needed to feel secure in Nauvoo for this first call and I was a a bit concerned about that thought.Therefore, it was with A LOT of JOY and what, a sigh of relief, that on December 13, 2011 the call arrived and YES, it was to Nauvoo! Guy and I both took the book and read it cover to cover. The thing about it that most touched me was that there were individual letters written to both Guy and Me that called us to serve together, but individually. It was so humbling to know that we were being called because we were found worthy to serve. Its funny, when President Condie called to talk with us the first time he said that we had finally made it. He commented that passing all the interviews and application stuff was like being interviewed by the FBI and KGB together and coming up clear! Its a joke but at times the process was pretty intense. But, WE ARE CALLED TO SERVE IN NAUVOO! Its our call, all of us together...I don't think that we will ever be alone anywhere in eternity now cause we are sealed together. Here we go everybody!
