The Russian people are going to love her!

Distinguished Scholar

Todd was invited to spend the day at SUU for their Distinguished Scholars Day

There were classes and activities, a tour of campus,

then he was able to spend time in the Engineering Department 

meeting the professors and learning about their program.

Dad and I joined him in the evening for a wonderful banquet

where he received his award.

We are so proud of you, Todd!

Julene's Mission Call

Julene is actually in Indiana visiting Jennifer one last time before she leaves on her mission, then next week she will fly to Texas and visit Janessa's family.

So when her Mission Call arrived here in Utah today she asked us to Skype her.

 Showing her the envelope through Skype

 The envelope is open and we all read....

 Russia Moscow West Mission!!!!

As you can see we are shocked and thrilled for her!!! 

(Thanks for your photography skills Heather :)

Here is her Mission Call, hand signed by Pres Monson

And her letter from the Quorum of the Twelve

This is her Mission Boundaries-

As you can see (the gray shaded area) it is the western side of Russia, 

and the countries of Belarus and Kazakhstan

(does this look geographically larger than the United States?)

And this is her Mission President and his wife

We love you, Julene, and are so proud of you!

You are off to great adventures!!
