So this is the first post of the next 2+ years of Alex Davidson and his mission experiences. We are excited for him and can't wait to share this great journey with all our family and friends.
This week we started the process of filling out the mission papers and fulfilling all of the requirements including physician (couple of shots and a TB test) and dentist (4 fillings) appointments. All of the forms can be filled out online now and they also ask for a picture of the prospective elder. Alex had his appointment with the Bishop on Friday morning so we were in a rush to try and get everything together. This is the picture we took before he met with the Bishop:
Handsome young man -- He knows. Anyways, he rushed off to his appointment with all requirements filled. . . . . . or so we thought.
After his appointment and one scheduled with the Stake President for later that afternoon we recieved a phone call from the Bishop. Paperwork looked good everything was great . . . . except for that picture. Pres. Thomas wanted him in a suit coat, in the picture AND at the interview! So with a frantic call to Jeff, Alex also borrowed his suit coat and the following picture was taken:
Yes, that looks better. Now he is looking like a real missionary! The appointment with Pres. Thomas went well and all was approved and sent off to Church Headquarters on Friday. In two weeks he will have his mission call. So now the question we pose to you . . . . . . .
Where in the world will Arod serve is mission?
Leave your guess in the comments and let's see who is the most INSPIRED!
