Getting things done

On October 8th Josh received the Melchizedek Priesthood.  We are so proud of him. 
We started the shopping for all his clothes, and items he needs to take with him.  


In December he got a couple packages address to Elder McKee.  So fun.  All his language books, Portuguese scriptures, missionary card, and his name tags!!


Cool Story:  He received the name tase in the mail on Christmas Eve.  He opened the package and then we set it aside.  The next day as we were cleaning up, we couldn't find the package.  Mom and Josh searched for about 2 hours.  Went thru all the trash for the last two days, thru every cupboard, thru his room, thru every room, but we just couldn't find it.  Mom was searching the storage room and said a prayer to please help us find the package and help me walk to it.  She came upstairs, stood in the kitchen for a minute, then walked over to the counter and moved a stack of Christmas cards and there is was.  A true blessing and answer to a prayer.

Josh’s Missionary Setting Apart Blessing                           January 5, 2021   Stake Presidency asked us, as a family, to give Josh advice as he starts his mission. Mom:   Personality that draws people in. You’ll do great wherever you go.  Don’t change who are.  Be the Missionary you were meant to be. Dad:   you are prepared!! But don’t feel too prepared.  Keep an open mind and be ready to Make Your Own Mission.  Each Path is your own.  The things that hit you in the heart are the things that make it hard.  YOU ARE READY!  You will have miracles. Jake:   God is no respecter of persons….All Gods promises are available to all.  D&C 4:4….You aren’t here to plant seeds, you are here to Harvest.  God accepts your efforts....
