AEXEL HAS BEEN CALLED TO THE MOZAMBIQUE MAPUTO MISSION

Axel's Mission call arrived Friday. Our whole family gathered together as Axel opened up his mission call and read....You are called to the Mozambique Maputo Mission, Portuguese speaking. WOWZERS!!!!!!! Oh boy, we were all shocked! But look at Axel's face, I caught his expression as he realized where the Lord wants him to serve, PRICELESS!!

The next day Axel still couldn't believe it.

We had so much fun calling all the family members to tell them. Grandma Ruth, Nana, uncle Carlos, aunt Tamara, Aunt & Uncle Chris, Uncle Benjamin, Aunt Janeen, Uncle Eduardo, Aunt Claudia, JoAnn..... we so enjoyed all of your expressions of surprise. I feel so happy that I have such a wonderful son that I float! Michael, I and our six kids are super humbled and grateful for our Father in Heaven and Axel's worthiness to serve. Of course Ben said what we all were thinking...that he does not want Axel to go because he will miss him. Ben offered to go with Axel to be his personal bodyguard. What a wonderful thing, to have my first born set the example for all his four brothers and his little sister. Thank you Axel, you are the best!
