- to board a ship, aircraft, or other vehicle, as a journey
When we received our mission call back in the fall of 2014, there was a lesson, for us to learn, in the then just announced 2015 theme for the young men and young women of the church...
" Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day"
D&C 4:2
We had no idea how much "heart, might, mind, and strength" it would take to embark on our journey of service in the mission field. We are forever grateful for all who helped us to embark on that journey and made our way to get to Peru so much easier.
At the end of June, President and I entered the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah for the New Mission President Seminar. There we were counseled and given guidance for our missions from the First Presidency, members of the Quorum of the Twelve and their wives, along with members of The Seventy and Missionary Dept. A choice experience to help boost you as you embark on one of the biggest journeys of your life.

On June 29th, it was finally time to "embark" to Lima, Peru and meet our missionaries in the Mision Peru Lima Central. The road was a bit bumpy due to a flight cancellation, separate itineraries, loads of luggage, but we all finally made it and were all together on June 30th.
Never would have made it through the Lima airport and customs with all of these bags without the help of two sweet elders who where on their way to the Lima CCM. They arrived into our mission August 11, 2015. So grateful that they were willing to stay behind and help.
So here are some of our highlights of our first two months:
