She's a missionary now - Sept. 21, 2009



It's official - Bailey Mortensen was set apart as a full time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009. So now we have to call her Sister Mortensen and she gets to wear skirts for the next 18 months. She packed, said her good-byes, and caught a plane to Salt Lake City Sept. 21 where she will meet up with grandparents and friends before entering the Mission Training Center Sept. 23. We look forward to seeing her with her black name tag and hearing stories about companions and learning "Nebraskan" at the MTC.
