Curls and Colt!Well this summer has been a little bit crazy with the cousin folk. The missionary cousin folk that is. First of all, my cousins Colton and Caleb, came home from their missions. These boys intentionally put their mission papers in in the same day, so they would get their calls the same day, and would leave pretty close to the same time! lol! Well, Elder Caleb Gorringe went to the Brazil Sao Paulo South Mission and returned July 2nd. Elder Colton Meyerhoffer went to the Dublin, Ireland Mission and returned July 3rd. Yes, just one day apart! And because of these boys coming home we've had a lot of Gorringe family time lately. It's been great! And my out of state cousin's were in town too so we all got to hang out! It's been great! Here are some pics from my missionary cousins return!

I was really excited for him to come home!

Then my cousin on the Jenkins side of the family, John Meyer, was called to serve in the Denmark Copenhagen mission. Elder Meyer gave an amazing talk at his farewell, that had me in tears btw, on sacrifice. He left July 15th for the MTC. Good luck Elder Meyer! You will be a great missionary!
Johns face... on a cake! lol!
Elder Meyer and Zach! Zach's tie says
"On a mission from God" lol! Very appropriate!
I am so proud of all my cousins for choosing to serve the Lord for 2 years! These boys are amazing! I have many other cousins who are serving right now! I love them all and can't wait for them to return!

Crazy how many relatives you have serving or just finishing their service to the Lord right now. Doesn't that cake look exactly like John?
