On October 22 something very special happened...
 |
| My brother Cole received a fancy envelope in the mail which contained the information of where he would spend 2 years of his life preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ... |
 |
| Some of us gathered at the hospital, where my mom was working, to hear him announce where he would be going. We were all very excited and maybe a little nervous... especially Cole. |
R. Cole Tipton has been called to serve in the Fukuoka, Japan Mission!
Now, we are learning that being called to serve a mission in Asia is a typical thing for the Tipton men. In our family we have a grandfather, and two uncles who served in China and a father who also served in Japan.
We are beyond excited for this kid to get out there and preach the word.
He leaves Jan. 26th, just after the baby will be here. Good timing right?
I AM SOOO PROUD OF HIM!!!

ReplyDeleteYeah. I guess he is just living up the facial hair while he still can... Or maybe he is just being lazy? We are not really sure...
