Sister Blackburn

I hope they call me on mission, when I have grown a foot or two.

I hope by then I will be ready, to teach and preach and work as missionaries do.

I hope that I can share the gospel, with those who want to know the truth.

I want to be a missionary, and serve and help the Lord while I am in my youth.

My friend Hope got her mission call this week and I couldn't be more happy for her.

She has been called to serve in the Cochabamba Bolivia mission.

She leaves on January 26 and I'm going to miss her.

She's been a great friend and been a part of some great Schaefer Beer & Grandma Joyce adventures.

They won't be the same without her.

But she's definitely ready to go serve the Lord.

And she has definitely GROWN a foot or two.

And as she recently put on her facebook status, she might be a little tall since the average Bolivian woman is only 4 1/2 ft. tall. (Hope is 6ft. tall)

Congrats Hope & Good Luck!

I had to post this picture, because 1. blogs are always better with pictures. and 2. because I asked Hope to take a picture with me before I left and she instantly asked if I was going to put it on my blog. So how could I not?

Pardon my gross hair, it was the result of dance class followed by a long walk to my car in the rain...followed by a sad attempt by me to fix it.
