Woot Woo! What an awesome call! The Hubs and I lived in Portland for 18 months and have so many happy memories there. It's a really great town and there are quite a few member families (our ward boundaries were the size of a Stake boundary in Utah and we still lived just down the street from the ward house). I hope he has a wonderful mission!
Congrats to you both!!! How exciting, I can't believe they are all read that old, all the little boys from the neighborhood are serving missions!! Crazy!
I just found your blog via another. Congratulations on the call! I'm originally from the Portland/Vancouver area. It's a great place - he'll be taken care of! It's funny, both our blogs are the same title. Gotta love that - great minds think alike and I have to follow someone who is on the same wave length! ha ha- Merry Christmas!

Judge Not:"Are we looking through a window which needs cleaning? . . . My dear sisters, each of you is unique. You are different from each other in many ways. . . . Do these differences tempt us to judge one another? . . . 'If you judge people you have no time to love them.'"
Charity: is having patience with someone who has let us down. It is resisting the impulse to become offended easily. It is accepting weaknesses and shortcomings. It is accepting people as they truly are. . . .may we have thepure love of Christfor our fellow travelers in this journey through life. May we recognize that each one is doing her best to deal with the challenges which come her way, and may we strive to do our best to help out. "
