...when it happened. Life gets away from me sometimes. :)
The Thursday before General Conference, Mike had his mission reunion. Well, that isn't remarkable, you may be thinking. Let me continue...
It was the 20th anniversary of his mission. No lie. He is that old. His mission president and wife
are so great! I mean, really they are. I don't feel instant connections with just everyone, but I totally did the instant I met them 8 years ago. For instance, President Earl and his wife just got back from serving a mission in Peru (again) but this time working on the Perpetual Education Fund. During his time there, he tracked down every, yes EVERY, missionary that served during their time. He knows which ones are dead, which ones are inactive, went through the temple with sons of others as they prepared for their own missions. He said jokingly at the mission reunion that he "got" access to church records that even general authorities don't have access to so that he could find all of his missionaries.
In January, he and Sister Earl are heading over to Spain to be the MTC president there. How cool is that?
