Elder Dad and Sister Mom



Look at those two. They look too young to be senior missionaries don't they? In the words of Elder Dad..."I need to be over 19 and Sister Mom needs to be over 21." I won't divluge their real ages, but they are young by senior missionary standards. Apparently in the MTC (Missionary Training Center for those of you not familiar with Mormon lingo) they were referred to as 'the kids.' Sister Mom loved that. They are serving in the mission office and are apparently working 10-11 hour days. It's a good thing they are young so they can handle that.



Life is weird without them here. In our family they are the first to ever leave. My sisters and I stayed within the state for school. (B we miss you. You live so far. Come visit me.) So having them leave was rough for our little family. We are close. But we are proud. And are looking forward to the future vacations we can take there and have them show us around..... hint hint. Start saving people.





If any of you know them and would like to follow their blog (it's private) leave your email address and we'll get you an invite. They would love to hear from you. Or you can email them at kevandsheri@yahoo.com if you aren't the blogger type. Which is cool, because I wasn't one for a long time too. I like the whole email thing. I will do my best to keep you informed about life in Adelaide. Things like my mom getting locked out of the apartment (or in the words of Sister Mom who has picked up on the Aussie lingo...Flat) while Elder Dad took a nap....or how Sister Mom is having a tough time pronouncing all the names of the missionaries, who are mostly islanders and have something like 25 letters in their last names. And if you don't care about my parents and only care about the goings on of Jon and I....then skip the posts labeled Elder Dad and Sister Mom...but you'll be sorry because sometimes I'm witty and it might be worth a good laugh.
