What is really interesting about this:

I never read the church news nor the new mission president news but for some reason I did when the Clayton's got called. Somehow, their picture made such an impression on me, their faces were the only ones I remembered from when I read the article. When I looked them up, it was, "Oh, it is them!" I have heard many times that you are not only assigned to a mission but more importantly to a mission president. I believe this to be true and I do not think it is a coincidence, that I focused on them when reading the news. Many little miracles piece together a mission call!

We are super excited for Mikkia to meet them and for her chance to learn from then and serve under their stewardship! Right now they are just faces and a picture, but we know that Mikkia will have life-changing experiences with them and grow to love them so much!
