Called to Serve

It is an exciting time as Spencer has received his mission call! He will be spending two years laboring among the good people in the Mexico, Tampico mission. Spencer is very excited as he gets to use the Spanish he's learned so far in school (4 years worth) and he'll get to further fine tune his Espanol. He's also grateful to be able to serve the Lord and spread the love of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Here's a short video of the opening of the envelope when he found out where he is going. He'll report to the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah May 6th!

Hi Shoe Family in Washington!
Just had to send a short comment about Spencer's mission call!
How wonderful for him and for your family! Wow! when did these years go by?? Seems like just yesterday these boys were all so little!
What a treat to watch and listen to the short video of him opening his missionary letter! So so sweet!
That was the first time I have had the opportunity to witness that special and sacred event. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wishing you all well and will be keeping Spencer in our prayers as he serves the people of Mexico.
Our love to you.
