News from the tunnels at the Y

Last night Juliet called Kristina and we went on speaker phone to listen to the pandemonium that was going on in one of the tunnels at BYU. If you have ever paticipated in any of the tunnel activities you know how loud things can get in there :)

Mark was opening a very important letter from Salt Lake. He is, as of last night, leaving for his mission in June and going to ....... Santiago, Chile East Mission. His brother is currently serving in the California San Diego Spanish speaking mission and was recently made a Zone Leader.

Needless to say we are very proud of both of our nephews for taking time to serve the Lord. One of our other nephews served a mission in the Phillipines a few years ago and did well there.

Next in line in the family is our darling daughter. She is contemplating serving but has to pass a very stringent physical in the summer first before she can send in her papers. The boys can go when they turn 19 for 2 years, the girls have to wait till they are 21 and serve for 18 months. Couples serve a variety of lengths of time from 6 months onwards and can go multiple times.
