Home for Preparation

Lorielle is home now to finish her preparations for serving a mission. She is planning on making a list, checking it twice, and getting all she needs to serve the Lord. She will be in the MTC in less than two months.

A Special Day

Lorielle took out her endowments yesterday in the Provo Utah Temple. She looked just radiant dressed in white. It was a very wonderful experience. She described it as "peaceful." And so it was.

Mission Assigned!

Lorielle as been assigned to a mission. We are waiting for the status to be changed to "sent". We are hoping for her call this week, maybe Wednesday! Yeah!!

Awaiting Assignment

Well it looks like they are going to take their time assigning Lorielle to a mission. We had hoped her call would be assigned on Friday, but it is still "awaiting assignment." We'll keep you posted when that changes and when we are ready to open the call.

Papers are Submitted

Lorielle has submitted her papers to the Church. We are now just waiting for her mission call. Generally missionaries are assigned to their field of labor on Fridays. The mission calls are mailed out on Tuesdays, and many receive their calls on Wednesdays. We figure we have missed the call assignments today, and expect Lorielle to be assigned to her mission next Friday. We are hoping for her mission call on Wednesday, 19 October. We are so excited!!

Papers Are Submitted

Lorielle has submitted her papers!! The next step is the interview with the bishop. When he is done, they will be assigned to the stake president. After the interview with the stake president, he will submit the papers to Church headquarters where the Quorum of the Twelve will make the final assignment to serve.

The Map

Here is the map hanging on my apartment wall with everybodies guesses to were I'm going to serve my mission! :)

Photo for Mission Papers

Lorielle Record, Sep 2011

We finished the insurance information and uploaded Lorielle's mission photo. This is the picture attached to her mission papers. It will be the picture that will come up on the computer screens as the missionary committee determines Lorielle's mission assignment.

Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Presidency of the Quorum of Seventy explained the process in his talk "The Divine Call of a Missionary" (April 2010 General Conference).

Papers Started

Best friends at the Manti Utah Temple.
Jenni Winn and Lorielle Record

It's official. Lorielle Record has started her mission papers to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She turned in her passport application two days ago, and started her papers last night. We are so excited!
