Called to serve.

7:31 am


My baby brother (ok, ok…he is 19) has chosen to go on a mission for our church. He will be gone for 2 years serving and teaching. He just received his mission call in the mail yesterday (missionaries do not choose where they serve, they are assigned) and he will be in…dun dun dun…
Geneva, Switzerland speaking French!!! For the next two years, he will be serving the Swiss people, strengthening families, teaching the scriptures and serving in the communities there. He will also travel to Belgium, Luxenburg and Eastern France. We are so proud of you Christopher!

    Hello.
    :)

    “The birth took place at the couple’s home (just outside Oslo),” says the palace, adding mother and baby were both well.
    Bye.
