Scotland-Ireland- Here We Come

We were finally able to get together on Friday afternoon as a family and open our call to see where we will serve. The call was to Scotland Edinburgh. We are so thrilled and it brought tears to our eyes. We know that the call includes Ireland because as of July 1, 2010, Ireland will come under the Scotland, Edinburgh mission. The current mission president will go home at that time and will not be replaced. I am sure we will end up in Ireland but able to travel to Scotland for meetings, etc. This is very interesting because when Mike was called to serve in the Irish Mission in 1962, Ireland had just become an official mission of the Church. He served without a mission president while President Stephen R. Covey was coming with his family. The missionaries served from March to July in Ireland without a president. Because of the poor economy and slow converts, they are putting the two missions back together. We will serve under Gary Griffiths. He is from West Jordon, Utah. He was born in Provo, Utah and is about 53 years old. We are finding many connections with him as we go along and are very excited to serve under him. His son served under our good friends, Judd and Pauline Morgan as they served in Winnipeg, Canada. The Relief Society President in our Butler 12th Ward, Mary Margaret Morgan Hansen, that I serve with as first counselor also served in Canada and served with the Griffith's son. We hear only great things about them and they will serve the whole time we are there. We feel so honored and excited to serve the Lord and are trying to get ready both inside and out. We have pages of medical things to get done besides everything else. Here we go!!!!! Jayne
