President and Sister Randall

How wonderful it was to hear from you. Because of the opportunities that we have to meet with Janice, we do get some opportunity to catch up on what some of the London students are doing. This Blog will be great for us to read in order to stay in touch.

Sister Randall and I have been serving as President and Companion in the Canada Edmonton Mission since July of 2004 -- perhaps some of you will remember that we received our call while in London. Never in our wildest dreams did we realize the great blessings we would receive from doing such service. We have been blessed with over 250 additional members of our family (missionaries). Our lives have been touched by their service and dedication. We have also been blessed to see many join the church and several who have come back into activation because of missionaries and members working together. What a wonderful experience it is to see the changes that come into peoples lives as they grow in the gospel. We will ever be grateful for this marvelous experience we are now having. Unfortunately it will come to a close in June of 2007, but there is still much to do and we try not to think about coming to the "end of the middle of our mission."

Our family at home has grown. Brock is now married and they have a little one. Since we left home we have also been blessed with additional grandchildren -- we now have 18 1/8. President hasn't met Brock's wife and has only met one of the new grandchildren.

We remember fondly our time together in London and will look forward to reading the posted material. Thanks to each of you for the wonderful memories.
