San Jose Costa Rica Mission!

Spencer was absolutely thrilled with his mission assignment to Costa Rica, and the opportunity to become fluent in Spanish. Back when he studied Spanish his freshman and sophomore years at Prairie with Mr. Trevisanut he was REALLY hoping to be called Spanish speaking--of course at that time he expected to serve at age 19! What a blessing. He hasn't stopped grinning, over 24 hours later!  We were all so surprised and excited that he is reporting to the MTC at the earliest possible date.  Hurrah for Israel and hooray for young people who love the Lord so much that they want to express it by serving their fellow people.  He is a kind, warm, bright, funny, easygoing, hard working young man and will bless so many lives.

This grin hasn't left his face, yet!

 We gave him his "missionary gifts" after he attended Mission Prep class that night, an alarm clock, a camera, and a missionary journal.

Here is a cool link that has a lot of information about his mission: http://preparetoserve.com/costa-rica/

Waiting for the mission call

The papers are in....we are just waiting to hear where Spencer Henry will be serving and when he will leave! 

 Who is Spencer?  An awesome brother (#3 of 4 kids--typical middle child), soon to be graduate of Prairie High School and Clark College in Vancouver Washington, employee of Sparks Fine Furniture (salesman and personal assistant to the owner), awesome friend, thoughtful minister, League of Legends champion, hilarious entertainer.
