okay so brad's papers have been submitted and we thought we might get to open the call at thanksgiving dinner but i guess we should recieve it the next week. the pres said by dec. 3rd if they don't get any red flags. brad had some work done on his shoulder that they could want us to take care of first. i hope not! this missionary stuff is lots more complicated and envolved than most people let on. it has taken lots of time and money to get these kids ready! the teeth alone have been almost 2,000. each kid. then the extra clothing and more or less 400 rent each kid each month. i am not complaining at all! it has been so fun and so emotional and i know that is where they need to be and what they need to be doing. they are growing so much and so fast! we are so fortunate to belong to this church and to help our brothers and sisters try to find the things that they so dearly need! So many of the problems of this world could be solved if people would realize we are all brothers and sisters and we are all in this together. i have a wonderful family and i am so thankfull for the support and prayers that are offered on our behalf! I love you all so much! Love nan

You are so strong to let two of your children out in the world to preach the gospel. You are so blessed! I don't know how you do it! I am so proud of your beautiful children and I love you all so much. I look up to you Nan. You are such an amazing mother, sister, and friend. I'm so thankful for your example. I enjoy reading about Sister Phillips's experiences and how strong of a missionary she is. You and Reece are such amazing parents to instill the strength you have into your children. I'm so excited to come to your house for the Christmas party. :) I miss my family and I am happy we will be together in a few weeks to play!
