We are moving to......

Drum roll please.....


(what, don't you automatically recognize what country that flag belongs to?)

JAKARTA, INDONESIA


We are VERY VERY excited! The ceremony was awesome and full of nervous energy (including from our boys -- though that was mostly just energy), and felt a lot like receiving a mission call, aside from the Mardi Gras beads everyone wore and the game of Bingo played throughout the ceremony. When Tanner got his flag and later handed it to Clark, Clark said "That's not OUR flag, OUR flag has stars." (get used to it buddy!) We are slated to move at the end of June...so the upcoming months will definitely be busy in our household. We hope as many of you as possible will be able to come and visit. I will post more details about Indonesia soon, but only those details that show the country in a positive light, so that you will actually want to visit us!

Score one for us!!!! Alright here come the Bali meet ups and trips to temples together. How does Clark feel about riding on Elephants because I think Sam will do it if he has a buddy. We are so excited to have you guys so close. Plus how cool is it that Elder Groberg is our Area president. WOo hoo we are so excited and can't wait until June.
