Good morning! I hope you all had a fabulous 4th of July! This 4th of July was a little weird for us, because our oldest is on his own this year all the way in Utah! Eek! He is serving a 2 year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He has been at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah for the past 3 weeks. He has learned a ton & had lots of fun. Today he heads out to the Salt Lake City West Mission. He is so excited to get started serving the people of Utah. To celebrate “ofishally” becoming a missionary I sent him a small treat in the mail last week. I thought it turned out super cute, so I thought I’d share the free “You are ofishally a missionary now.” printable with you! So keep reading! :)
For those of you who don’t know what a mission is. In our Church the youth, young men age 18+ and young women age 19+, can serve a mission. A mission can be anywhere in the world! Missionaries can be found all over the globe. You’ve might of seen a few riding around on their bikes in Sunday clothes with black name tags! ha! Young men serve for a period of 2 years. During that time they can email home once a week, and they are able to call on Mother’s Day & Christmas. They serve & teach the people where they serve. It’s an amazing experience. I’ve already seen such growth in my son. His letters home have been amazing. He sounds so happy! :) For more information on what we believe you can go {HERE}. If you have a missionary out….make sure you grab this tag! You can right click & save or go {HERE} to print it out.
All I did was cut it out, & then I glued it to a piece of scrapbook paper, punched a hole & tied it onto a bag of Swedish Fish with curling ribbon. Easy peasy! :)
My son is on the left. I just love him so much!
This is his district (the group he is assigned to).
The MTC is right across the street from the Provo, Temple.
