My Mother Dearest and Daddus Boy have been called to serve in the Honolulu, Hawaii CES mission. My dad will be doing what he loves most - teaching the gospel to the students attending BYU Hawaii. Mom will be working with the University in other areas. They are lucky to have these two choice people!
We were lucky enough to hear them speak on Sunday.
President Moss came by Sunday night to set them apart as missionaries. It was a beautiful experience and the spirit of God testified to me that the work they will be doing is true. After that we had to say goodbye. This picture was taken right before we left (and the tears fell).

Thankfully I have a most wonderful husband who knows how much I love my family. He has been good enough to put up with me heading to Sandy almost every weekend for the last couple of months - so I could get in some family time.My nephew Michael, sister Jill, and I after our 5k in Lake Point.
My little brother Ben and his adorable family.

Wade and I decided to throw a family Halloween Party. Here are a few of the activities we did:
Doughnuts on a string
Pin the wart on the witches nose.
Beanbag toss
And of course...a picture of the host...whose 70's outfit just continues to evolve into such splendedness I hardly know what to say! :)
I am so grateful to have been blessed with such wonderful parents. I am going to miss them so much! I don't know what I will do without my sweet mother the next time I have a baby (no, this is not an announcement). She has been an example to me my entire life and I do not personally know a more Christ-like person. I love you mom.
My sweet dad. You have always been my favorite pal. I love laughing with you. You are a model of strength and righteousness. I will miss singing around the piano, and I know the little girls will too. Thanks for everything. I love you.
2 years is way too long to be without you! Good thing you get to have visitors! :) Hawaii here we come!

We were just visiting the PCC and temple in Hawaii and Carol could not stop talking about how jealous she is of your mom getting to serve in beautiful Hawaii. So hard to be without your parents for awhile, but what a great thing for them to be doing (and what an excellent place to be going!!) :)
:( oh jenny my heart is sad for you:( you have great parents, no wonder you are so amazing!
That will be really hard to have your parents gone. But on the plus side...I just read that family members are allowed to visit couple missionaries and sight seeing is encouraged. Sounds like they are going to the perfect place for that!
That will be so hard to have them gone! Glad you have got to spend some good time with them before they leave. and I want to go on vacation with you to visit them!
Hi guys, I just set our blog to private, but I don't have an e-mail address for you to send an invite! Leave me a comment or email us at cmmickelsen@gmail.com
Fun costumes! Man, I hope that when Nathan and I go on a mission we get to go to Hawaii!
