Set Apart!

It's official! Tonight Lee & Pat were set apart as full-time missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  They will head up to the Oregon Eugene Mission office before setting up their permanent residence for the next year in Bandon Oregon.  All of us back home are so inspired by their faith and willingness to leave everything behind and make this commitment to serve the Lord.  We look forward to their letters home, which will be posted here, as they share with us the many experiences that await them in the mission field.
