Lillie is going on a mission

We have neglected to post about this because even though we are happy and proud of our Lillie, we will deeply miss her. She has become a bright spot in our lives and thinking of her being gone for a year and a half is unfathomable. But we know this will be a great experience for her. It was so with my mission and will be for her. She will learn things about life and the gospel that she will never get elsewhere. With tears and a shaky voice, she called us and read her mission call to the North Dakota Bismarck

What a sweet girl!!  She has done so well in college and grown so much. She is driven, ambitious, cautious, fun-loving, somewhat adventurous, a good friend, strong willed, musically talented, has a testimony, loves her family and loves the gospel. She will be one of the great missionaries there ever was for the Church. It will be very cold in her mission, but her warmth will make it all okay!!!  We will miss her very much, but feel somewhat comforted she will be in the states!!  We know God answers all our prayers!!  This is exactly where she is supposed to go!!
