This was going to be our photo for submitting with our mission papers, but it was the wrong size. So it will be our first blog picture instead!
We have been called to serve in the Oregon Eugene Mission, starting October 11, 2010. We are assigned to the southern coastal town of Brookings for 18 months. We are pretty happy about it, because Brookings is beautiful, we have a nice home to live in, and members of the ward are friendly and eager to help us find people to teach.
All our married life we have planned to serve a mission together and the day is finally here. We are excited and a little scared. But we are willing!

  1. Sorry but that's not a good picture for a missionary couple! No one is going to take you seriously!! You look too young!! You should have added some gray hair and wrinkles. :)

  4. Gladys and I are so happy for you that you can do this. Our mission was a great experience and testimony builder. You will be grateful for it for the rest of your life. You will find there are many people you can teach and get into their homes that you young Elders and Sister are not able to get into. Take advantage of that great advantage of being "older" and a married couple. God will bless you for it.We love you. Juan

  5. Our very best to an amazingly youthful senior couple. The blog is a stroke of genius, Rick, and a terrific partnership - if you build it, she will write. I look forward to following the Chronicles of the Higginaries! Love, D and D
