Called to Serve
This summer my grandparents were called to the Manhattan, New York Temple Mission. They are going to be the world's greatest missionaries, and I am quite certain they are going to have a lot of family visiting them in New York City!
On Friday, mom, dad, Christian, me, and the kids drove down to South Carolina for their farewell. It was a long drive for a weekend, but well worth it. I hadn't seen my Grandparents in over a year or Blake, Meghan, and Savanna since last Thanksgiving.
On Saturday, we swam, watched the USC game (GO GAMECOCKS!), had family dinner, presented a scrapbook to Grandma and Grandpa with a farewell message from each family, and Christian and I went mini golfing with Blake and Meghan. On Sunday, they spoke in church on charity, commitment, and sacrifice, and how those apply to missionary work. All of us grandkids (and Christian) sang "Called to Serve" in between their talks.

I'm sure going to miss them!
