IMAGINE ME A MISSIONARY

Imagine me a missionary! This little song sung by Primary children has been running through my head. On Friday, we received our call. We have been called to the New Hampshire Manchester Mission whose headquarters is in Bedford, New Hampshire. The mission covers parts of 5 states: New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts and 1 part of New York. We will be on a Family and Church history mission doing records preservation which means we'll be recording records of various types to be included in the large collection of records in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City as well as any other work directed by our mission president. After all this waiting, we are going to be reporting to the Missionary Training Center on March 30 so we hardly have time to breathe let alone get ready. The picture is of the birthplace of the Prophet Joseph Smith in Sharon, Vermont. We're speaking in our ward today at 9.
