A couple months ago my in-laws got their mission call to the Mozambique Maputo Mission.  Ever since then all us kids have been busy learning how to take over the business and the farms and the house and the bees and all the bills.  It's a lot of stuff to cover but we are so grateful that they are making the choice to go on a mission.

 On Friday night we all met at the temple.  It was really cool to be able to be there all together.  Afterwards we went out to dinner and got our final instructions. 

Sunday night we met to see them set apart as missionaries.  Of course my sisters-in-law and I were out in the halls with our wild kids the whole time, but it was still nice to be there.

Afterwards we met at their house one last time for dinner.  Before everyone left we were cleaning out the fridge and freezer and dividing up the food and throwing away the rest.  Charlie was having a panic attack watching the food getting passed around and thrown out.  If you know Charlie you know he takes food very seriously.  We finally gave him three popsicles and he settled down.

We are so going to miss our mom and dad.  They are awesome parents and grandparents.  My children have loved their sleepovers at the Wollenziens house and the little splashing pool that Grandma would fill up with hot water from the house and little bags of candy that she would give each one of them at the end of a day there.  Luckily I've lived through my parents mission so I know this won't last forever but we are still a little sad today.
