Bernie is going to be serving in Melbourne Australia for two years!

I’m so excited! He leaves on September 26th!

For those of you who are totally unfamiliar with what I’m talking about- young people in our church have the opportunity to serve full time missions when they are 19, as long as they have upheld certain moral codes (basically being a superb kid- no drinking, being chaste, etc) and have a testimony of the gospel and a desire to serve. Bernie will be teaching the gospel to those interested in our church and serving the people in the area. These missionaries pay their own way- all of their work is on a volunteer basis. We belong to The Church of Jesus Chris of Latter Day Saints.

I’m SO EXCITED for him! This does mean that my parents will now have all three of their children in different countries though - ha!

Here’s a layout of Bernie:

(My little sister Janice did this awesome layout)

I know my regulars are probably asking “When did she start doing 12x12s again?” I’ve been doing 8.5x11 for so long- but in the past few months I’ve started to really mix it up- playing with whatever size moves me at the moment. It’s been fun! Thanks for looking!
