  Tender Mercy 08.14.2019 Our dear friend David Higginson who was a missionary in our Ward a few years before Will got his call was so kind to clear his schedule to meet Will at the SLC airport, take him out for lunch and then drop him off at the MTC. Here is what he posted about the experience: This is Will Boehme, I met him while I was serving my mission in Lethbridge, Alberta Canada. I had the opportunity today to take Will into the MTC today so that he can prepare for his own mission in Scottsdale, AZ. This is special because August 14th marks another year gone that I began and ended my own mission. . . and it seems like yesterday. I will never forget the experiences I had or the people, like Will and his family, that I met. Amazing how time flies. Good lucky buddy! It really was a tender mercy for us to know that Will wasn't alone as he entered the MTC.  He had a friend who really went the extra mile to feed him, calm his nerves and put a loving arm of encouragement...

See you in two 08.14.2019 Saying goodbye was so hard.  We were up very late packing suitcases and making sure everything was set. Very little sleep was had.  Those hours together getting everything ready were really special.  The time together seemed very sacred, as we worked and soaked up our last hours together. Before we went to sleep, much later than we had anticipated we prayed together, first Mom, then Elder Boehme.  It was a moment to never be forgotten. We needed to leave for the Calgary airport at around 2:00 a.m. so there wasn't very much sleep had before our alarms went off to wake everyone up.  We decided as a family to all go together.  It was a quiet ride. Many emotions filled our hearts.                 Goodbyes were hard to say to this amazing big brother.  He has been such a great leader of the pack.  Tears were shed as we watched him walk away and all yelled in unison, "We love you Elder Bo...

Set Apart

Image
08.13.2019 Will was set apart as a missionary on Tuesday, August 13th, 2019. It was a special evening for our family and Will's close friends. President David Stewart and his wife Karri, our good friends and Will's doctor, who've known Will all his life came to be with us to take care of the setting apart.  We opened with prayer and then the setting apart took place.  It was a powerful experience to hear the words "set apart as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!" It was official, now he would need to keep the mission rules, always have a companion with him and wear missionary attire.  Even more powerful were some beautiful promises to trust in the Lord....that if Will was meant to go to Edmonton while he waited for his visa to come through--that is what would happen. Promises that if he was obedient that he would be blessed with success and growth. Encouragement to be confident in himself and his abilities, and that ...

ELDER~A Call to Serve

Image
{Will was ordained to the office of an Elder in the Melchizedek Priesthood by his Father, Brian Boehme, on 31 March 2019} 04.16.2019 It is hard to describe the feelings of sheer excitement and also stress & anxiety we all felt as we waited for Will to receive his mission call.  With the change for all mission calls to be emailed instead of mailed as of 2019, the process had been very fast for his friends. As the weeks stretched on it seemed to take an eternity for Wills call to come.  I think he waited 2 1/2 weeks for that anticipated email to arrive in his inbox!  I remember how thrilling it was when he texted me after heading off to school, that his call had come!! We gathered as family and friends to support him that evening at 6:00pm!  Through nerves and shaking hands he read his call..... April 16, 2019 Dear Elder Boehme: You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are assigned to lab...

....it has been a very long time since I posted anything on my blog. Life is so busy, and yet I know if I take the time to stop and record what we are doing it will be so worth it in the long run. My husband is a Physiotherapist....a really good one!  Of course I think that, but really, his dream for a very long time has been to start his own Physio clinic.  We took this jump and planned and brainstormed our name, logo etc.  This has been such a fun process, we still have much work to do and I am realizing a venture like this takes time to get going and off the ground.    BUT... On Sept. 1st  CORE MANUAL THERAPY opened it's doors to the public.  It was such a whirlwind of renovations, as we did many of them ourselves (and by ourselves I mean Brian and I and the help of his amazing family).  Looking back it is truly amazing what we accomplished in just a matter of weeks. Brian has been extremely busy and the business is on it's way up!!!...
