The call to serve Jesus Christ

The whole family gathered to witness the opening of the call and to see where Eileen and Kent would be serving and what, specifically, they would be doing. It was late in May 2010 on a Thursday night that children and grandchildren gathered to celebrate the opening of the call from President Thomas S. Monson. What an amazing feeling when it didn't say Brazil but said Portugal instead. Everyone thought it was a joke until Kent cleared his throat and said they would be going to Europe instead of South America.

There was a big crew on hand for seeing where 'Mom and Dad' were going. 99% were thinking Brasil and a cool place like Recife where it is really hot. But it was not to be and the European culture will rule.
