I'm not too pleased with them accepting this call for other reasons than yours, Julie. But I put on a smiley face. :-) Poor Grandma A, where will she go?
They are an inspiration. Think of all the blessings your family will receive having your parents always in the temple.
That is amazing and wonderful; so many blessings will come to your whole family for the sacrifice and service they perform there!
Julie that is awesome. I know you and your family will be blessed greatly.
