Hello everyone.  We, John and Shelley Pack, are the "New Mexico Packs."  We have been called by God through the prophet, President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to serve a full-time Church mission for a period of 18 months.  We have been assigned to serve as Welfare and Self Reliance Services missionaries in the New Mexico Albuquerque Mission.  We begin our service on Monday, November 8, 2021, with at home online Missionary Training Center training.  We depart for Albuquerque on Saturday, November 13.

     Our training has actually begun already even though the official start date isn't until November 8.  Monday and Tuesday, November 1 and 2, we had online training from the Church Welfare and Self Reliance Department.

     We look forward to being full-time, 24/7, on the Lord's errand in New Mexico!  In our mission application we did not state any geographical preferences nor any preferences of what we'd be assigned to do.  Essentially, we said, "Here we are.  We'll go where You want us to go, we'll do what You want us to do."  And New Mexico is the assignment.  We are thrilled!  Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ are in the details of our lives.
