Missionary Farewell - Copperview 1st Ward - October 13, 2013

On Sunday, October 13th, Katelyn spoke at her farewell.  Another missionary, Jared Barton,  spoke during the same meeting, so the chapel was packed!!  It was like Stake Conference.  Jared is going to the Mexico City West Mission.

Katelyn talked about her decision to go on a mission.  The last time she spoke in Sacrament Meeting, Brother Beals harassed her about not having a softball in her hand.  This time she brought both a softball and her scriptures.  She talked about how she got from playing softball and planning to play college softball to her decision to serve a mission.

Kaelyn said as she started her junior year of school and looked at playing softball and hoping the college recruiting would begin, but she was not all that convinced she would play college softball.  In October while listening to General Conference and President Monson announced the age change for missionaries, she knew that is where she needed to be. 

The Beginning of a great, new adventure

Katelyn White received her mission call to Mississippi, Jackson Mission.  She leaves in October 2013.

I was Kate's Laurel Advisor in Young Women's and offered to do a blog of her missionary experiences while she is gone.  My plans are to post her letters, pictures and stories so her family and friends can keep up to do with her experiences.

Please feel free to send things to me to post, so other's can see and share.  Please share the address for this blog to other's who may be interested.  We will keep the blog public as long as we do not have any issues or problems with people reading and sharing the blog.
