The adventure begins

I suppose to say this is the beginning is not quite accurate. They have spent years dreaming of, planning for, and preparing physically and spiritually for the moment when the cameras would emerge to capture the start of their missionary service. And, of course, the recent weeks as Mom and Dad raced around were an exciting challenge in their own right, but this is where the FUN starts.

I can't help but think of the many hours of encouragement, shopping, packing, and prayers these two have offered every family missionary before them. We're delighted that it's finally their turn.

Elder and Sister Wells were set apart on Saturday evening, July 5th with as much family as could make themselves available. Of course, we all wanted very much to be a part of this special moment. We, their children, are so proud of their hard work and determination to serve the Lord. What an example to us all.
Way to go, Mom and Dad. We suuure love ya!
