Get ready for this one!!! We are having twins … due on Wednesday, October 30. These newest additions to our family are Selwin and Simeon Lovell from Georgetown, Guyana (pictured with Anne Bertschi whose son Levi is currently serving in the West Indies Mission).Their mother died when they were just children and their father relocated to the United States about a year later, leaving them in the care of his mother. They are absolutely identical and, other than an uncle, are the only members of the church in their family.
We are happy to have them in our home as they finish preparing for fulltime missionary service somewhere in the world. Thankfully, the bishop and stake president are willing to help with some of their missionary needs. Members of the ward and stake have generously offered to help them on their missions and others are prepared to put them to work until they enter the MTC. So now when I am asked how many children I have, I can say I have 4 girls and 4 boys!!!
They attended church on Sunday for the first time while we were in Branson, Missouri. We received a phone call while we were on the highway and it seems both have been called to serve as advisors in the Young Men's program. They are both looking for work, bicycles and a short term social life.
Life is so interesting and certainly full of surprises! I can’t believe it could possibly be more unexpectedly surprising than this!
