Do YOU Want To Be A Senior Missionary, Too?

That is what the three of us got to ask on Tuesday, August 17th at BYU Education Week.  We served at a booth set up by the missionary department to encourage more senior couples and single senior sisters to serve.  Due to Covid and the growth of missions throughout the world, there are needs for 10,000 full-time senior missionaries and 28,000 service missionaries (who live at home and serve 16 hours or more a week).  The booth was one way to reach out and teach others about the amazing opportunities.

We had the opportunity to talk with other parents who had children with special needs as well with others who had questions about serving.


Seriously, check out the website--you can do almost anything almost anywhere!  Here is the link--

Serving a mission as a senior is an amazing experience!
And Gary points out it is nice to have the same companion!

We had a fun time serving at the booth and talking with the many people who stopped in.  And, I always love being on BYU campus despite the many many changes since I was a student there.

Reading about all of your mission experiences makes me wish I was healthy enough to serve a mission. Maybe some day.
