It Begins

Today our Stake President, Kline Bradford, set us apart as full-time missionaries.  He gave us each beautiful blessings, and we are now officially Elder and Sister Kerr.  We report to the Missionary Training Center tomorrow morning, and begin our week and a half of training before we "report for duty" in Louisiana.

We were originally supposed to go to the MTC on October 8, but shortly after we received our call, we were asked if we could go a month earlier.  That meant a little bit of a scramble to tie up loose ends, make a few doctor's appointments, and cut our visit to the east coast short a day (we visited family in Maryland and North Carolina--just got back this morning), but otherwise we are very happy to be going a little earlier than originally planned.  It's nice to be needed even if we don't yet know exactly what we're needed for!
