Mission Call!

Our oldest nephew received his mission call this week and in August he will be leaving for...

GHANA, AFRICA! Cody is an amazing young man and we have always been impressed by how firm his faith is. He will be leaving in August and will go straight to the MTC in Ghana. We are so proud of him and know he is setting a great example for our boys and everyone in the Howard clan.

Awesome! Chad went to the Ivory Coast, just west of Ghana. Only back then, there was no MTC or temple nearby, so none of his companions were trained/endowed! Chad' says he's going to love Ghana! Advice: he says take pictures of everything (even though the locals will annoy him constantly to take their picture!) Also, take electric hair clippers and adaptor.

Weird, I actually know who Cody is. Every Thursday and Friday I play volleyball at our Stake Center and Cody was there on one of the days a couple of weeks ago. He is a really nice kid, I was very impressed by him (and anyone who comes to play vb with a bunch of Relief Society ladies). Congrats Cody!
