MADELINE GETS HER MISSION CALL!

Dear Family,

Madeline H. received her mission call!  She is our second granddaughter to apply after the drop in the qualifying age.  She put in her papers and we were all excited when she received her call packet.

We were up in Spokane so were not there for the opening of the letter event.  But she read her letter and she is called to serve in the Scottish-Ireland Mission.  She reports to the London MTC on May second and will not spend very much time there. Here she is with dad Paul and Mom Cheryl.  Cheryl, can't believe you are starting to send out missionaries. as they say in German, Zeit vergeht!

We are so excited for her!  She has a little Scottish blood through Mom's Mc Entire line.  That clan has it own tartan and colors.  It would not hurt to mention over there that she does have a wee bit of Scottish ancestry. Also her late great grandfather, Elder Haight, served there as mission president.  That mission is apparently doing well and they are expanding their Sister Missionary complement.  These mission presidents are very lucky.

Congratulations Maddie, we know you will do well.  Now the exciting period of preparation.

We love you Maddie,

Oma and Opa
