Well, the long anticipated white envelope arrived in the mail today.
We have been officially called to serve a mission again. We are excited!
We will be serving as full-time, set-apart missionaries in the Utah Salt Lake City South mission for 18 months. We are to serve as MLS, or Member, Leader Support missionaries. That means that we are going to serve while living at home. Our work will be in support of the Ward and Branch councils of the Wards and Branch within our own stake - focused on re-activation.
We have met others who are doing this same kind of mission and generally hear that it is a very rewarding, though difficult mission. Our bishop has already assigned us to work with some members and we have had some wonderful experiences in the work.
We will report at the MTC in Provo for 5 days of training, starting February 23rd.
As you can probably expect, the blogs in the future may not be quite as entertaining, since we are not traveling much and are within our own culture (basically). One of our units is a Spanish Branch, so we will also be involved with them.
We are very happy to again be serving the Lord in the capacity of missionaries. The blessings are in describable.
(Soon to be again) Elder and Sister Buchanan
You two are amazing!! Thanks for your example!
