The Call.......

You have been called.......
....to serve in the Armenia Yerevan Mission as office specialists. 
Dad: Oh brother! (but in a good way)
Mom: I don't even know where.........
Later my Dad discovered they each had their own letter and he said look we are going to the same place!
(Pres. Monson's signature in blue ink is pretty cool by the way)
They are out of here on June 28th! 
About a year and a half ago they went on "Lehi's Journey" to the Middle East so they have had a taste of different culture.  Armenia is close to Russia so even though their call doesn't involve learning a new language they might need to know a little of these.....
Zdra-stvu-eetee = Hello
Pryvet, Privet  = Hi
Pa-ka  = Bye
But I hear that Armenian is the hardest language to learn.  We will expect them to know the basics before long.
I was trying to put the video of the "opening" on here but still can't figure it out.  It is mostly Knox talking really loud anyways.
We are so proud of Mom & Dad or (MeeMa & Bob) for leaving their home, family & grandkids to do what the Lord wants & serve in Armenia! They are such good examples. We will all be blest.  The people in Armenia are so lucky and will love you!
