Preparing to Serve a Mission

Note: Since we are beginning this photojournalistic record of our mission six or seven months prior to departure, entries may be sparse. Nonetheless, we believe that our preparation for a mission is indeed an important component of your service to the Lord’s children. Let us declare, then, that the pre-mission has begun. This leg of our efforts will for sure feature commentary on all the things we have to do in order to make ready. Some very dear friends of ours (John and Natalie Arhets) have just left on an overseas mission to Belgium and France, and in their last e-mail to us they stated that the “get ready” process was much more time consuming than they had anticipated. We are grateful for their counsel and will heed it. We are also grateful for you and eager to welcome you to our chronicle. Ora pro nobis.
