Katie is so lucky to have this group of freshmen friends. What a great example and support they are to each other. Some of them have known they wanted to serve a mission for awhile, and some didn’t think they would serve a mission but during the course of the year each of them received the inspiration that they needed to serve. They individually sought out their own answer and timing and supported each other in their decisions. Amazingly, all ‘seven sisters’ (as they soon referred to themselves) got calls within a month. So exciting!

As each one received their mission call, Marilee sent them a flag of their country or state and Annie’s cousin was nice enough to take pictures of them all together. Love these photos.

Before Katie got home from BYU I found these cute notebooks and decided to buy one for each of the ‘7 Sisters’. Katie designed the cover with a map and the first page with personalized text and pictures for each girl. It was a fun project for us to work on together and get send out before they each left for the MTC. Love these girls. : )
