November 5, 2008--last day of our official full-time mission. We began serving November 5, 2007, called to the Missionary Training Center, Utah Provo Mission, specifically assigned to the the International Office. We served and loved our international missionaries with all our hearts but knew that Elder Cook's health wouldn't allow him to continue his expected activities. Joel Moriyama and Elder and Sister Bush prayed us to their office. After 8 months, we were reassigned to the Church Headquarter, Salt Lake City, to work in the Church-service Missionary Department as Coordinators. We have served with all our heart, might, mind and strength and pray our offering is accepted of the Lord. I know this work to be true and eternal and pray that we will be found on His Right Hand in the eternities.

Now, officially, November 6, we continue working in this office, in His service, as Church-service Missionaries. Today, we had our first snow of the season--it seems appropriate that God is the Lord is showering the earth with His beauty after such a disappointing national election--one of which we could be so very depressed!! We know this gospel will roll forth and consume the earth. We are humbled to be part of this great work!!
