And So It Begins

Last summer our sweet Jacey-boy went to Peru on a humanitarian trip for two weeks. He fell in LOVE with that country and those people. Especially the kids. There was not a single day that went by where he did not talk about that trip.

As he finished his mission papers, a common question was "where do you want to go?"
Jace would frequently answer that wherever he got called to he would be happy, which was probably true. But it was no secret to his family that where he really wanted to go was Peru. Despite some encouragement to mention on his papers that he had been to Peru, he left that information out. He said if that was where the Lord wanted him, he would be sent there, whether or not he put that on his papers.

Then came the fateful day of his mission call! 

The whole fam came over (as well as TONS of his friends!) to make their guesses on a master map and listen to where the Lord was sending Jace to preach the gospel.

PERU!!!!!!!!!!! Obviously we were all shocked! And so happy! None happier than Jace though.

Preparations for Jace's mission went well and very fast. He was so ready! He gave an amazing Farewell talk that brought everybody to tears.

He boarded a plane in Salt Lake on August 12th and headed down to the Peru MTC to learn Spanish for 6 weeks.

And he was off! We miss him TERRIBLY but are extremely excited for him! Also, we are stoked for his emails. Anyone who knows Jace knows he is not only hilarious, but a very good writer. If you're looking for humorous, inspirational messages, you're at the right place!
