Kimball's Mission Call Video


Here it is...the fateful moment we have all been anxiously awaiting. Our mail carrier called us from the postoffice to tell us the call was here and to see if we wanted to come pick it up or have it delivered. (The benefits of living in a small town!) I didn't want to be tortured staring at it all day, so we decided to let her deliver it so Kimball could get it himself. She taped a balloon to our mailbox when she came...and we don't even know her. But we loved the extra touch.
He is so excited and will now be challenged with keeping himself busy this summer while he prepares and waits to get going. It is always a little trial of patience.
I always love to see these videos of the youth opening their calls. They always choke me up. Anyway, here is ours, enjoy!

An Eagle Project in Belize all Finished

Last summer, Kimball went to Belize on a Humanitarian Trip. He was able to do his Eagle Project while there, which involved collecting children's books here and transporting them to Belize to help set up a library at an Elementary School. He recently finished up all the paperwork and jumped through all the BSA's hoops to officially get his Eagle Scout Award. Good job, Kimball!
