Preparing to serve

We have received our Mission Call to Guatemala City North Mission in Guatemala.  We report 14th of NOvember to the MTC in Provo Utah where we will be for one week.  Brother Spradlin is working hard with an online tutor in Spanish and I am struggling away with Q'eqchi' (indigenous language spoken in part of our mission area).  We are very busy discarding, selling, loaning out and packing everything for storage for our leave date from here in Arkansas.    Chris Moline and his family will be leasing our home here in El Dorado and we are very grateful to have such wonderful people here!  We hope to leave and head west between the 6-7 of September.  Stops planned in Colorado with Tina and my brothers Johnny and Jerry, even the possibility of a get together with all of my brothers!  Next stop will then be to see Amber at BYU, then up to spend a month with Natalie and Marion before we report.
