Another Mission Call

I think we will be praying for an "Elder Simms", for many years. Jared got his mission call recently. I just grabbed two things from Annie's blog. We have a trip planned in August, because both Elder Simms will be speaking in church on August 11. I was hoping for a time when Nathan would be home, and Jared hadn't left yet. My prayers were answered.  

"The end of April, Jared received his mission call to the Asuncion Paraguay mission.  He starts on August 12th at home for a week and then heads to the Missionary Training Center in Peru on August 20th or 21st.  We're so grateful that (1) he got called to South America, where he hoped to serve and (2) his start date is after Nathan gets home from his mission.  Jared put his availability date as the middle of July, hoping that would make way for a potential August start date (assuming that he would start about a month or so after his availability, as often happens with the mission calls).  Jared wanted to see Nathan, but he also wanted to get back from his mission in time to start a fall semester of college.  Jared got accepted and will head to BYU in fall 2026.  Nathan returns on July 30th, so they will get to see each other for a short time.  Anyway, it worked out just perfect."
