Fred and Paula’s Most Excellent Adventure

 We contacted President Halvorson, our mission president, who requested that Fred serve as financial secretary and I will serve as the mission health advisor. Fred and I will also share the role of office secretary. This required us to participate early in MTC training. At the same time, Paula received her second COVID vaccine in Houston. This picture is MTC training in the airport. The Lord is providing a way. 

It was a miracle Fred got an appointment. We were told by the MTC that we couldn't go foreign if we didn't have the COVID vaccine. We can't get one in Utah because we are Texas residents. We can't become Utah residents until after the mission because of income tax and our international drivers license reasons. We fasted on Sunday asking the Lord to help us get appointments. My appointment became available about an hour after we were told we needed it. We didn't know how Fred could get his appointment. Last night at 2:30 am Fred woke up to the spirit telling him to get an appointment from CVS right then. He started working on it and finally was able to schedule an appointment at 6:00 am this morning. He will fly in on Tuesday to get his first shot. The second for him will be a fly in and leave the same day on April 13. We feel blessed.
