There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

DECEMBER 24, 2012 -- MISSION PAPERS SUBMITTED!

MISSION PAPERS SUBMITTED
DECEMBER 24, 2012


We are so excited to find out when and where Hyrum will 
serve his volunteer 2-year mission!

Hyrum played in the bowl game with BYU in San Diego, CA so he 
didn't arrive home until Saturday, Dec. 22nd.  The next day, Sunday, he 
had his final interview with our stake president, President Bradford.
Mission papers were finished off and our bishop hit the "submit" button which sent them to the stake president for his final review!
Missionaries are able to submit their papers 120 days prior to their availability date.  For Hyrum that wasn't until actually December 26th -- the last day of finals is April 26th, 2012.
President Bradford tried to submit them on that Sunday, but they wouldn't go through yet.  He let us know that on the morning of December 24th, the "submit button" connected and Hyrum's papers were submitted!
We are guessing that his call will arrive the week of January 7th, 2013!
We are all excited!  Each family member has made a guess of a state in the USA and a country of where they think Hyrum will go!!!
