Independence, Missouri

My parents left 2 weeks ago for a mission to Independence, Missouri. They spent one week in the MTC and truly enjoyed the experience. They even met some friends who were going to the same mission. They left there and spent almost 1 week traveling to their destination of the mission home in Independence, all the time not knowing exactly where they would be serving. On their rode trip they were able to visit church history sites along the way. They are now in Kansas as MLS (member, leadership support). They are still in limbo without a place to live and not really knowing what to do. There wasn't a place set up for them to live so they have spent the last 3 days looking for somewhere to rent. It has proved difficult, but they are determined to make the best of things and optimistic that something will "turn up". I am so proud of them for setting the example for my family, their grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I am sure they will do an awesome job with whatever comes their way.
