I recently completed these layouts of my son, Easton's mission. He served a 2 year mission for our church in the Houston, Texas South Mission. He was serving in Galveston, TX when Hurricane Ike ravaged the area. He spent the next several months of his mission doing service, cleaning up, and helping those who were displaced, as well as teaching the gospel. As I have watched Hurricane Sandy this week, it has really made me think about the power of nature, and the power of service. All of the people you see on these pages in the yellow t-shirts were missionaries from our church who helped during Hurricane Ike. I have no doubt they'll be there to help again with Sandy!
I created Easton's whole mission scrapbook using Studio J and this beautiful paper pack (Vintage Travel). This is a paper pack was retired by CTMH long ago, but still lives on in Studio J. Cool beans!
Here are some close ups of the pages (feel free to click on them to see them larger and in more detail):
And, while we are on the subject of 3 more days, don't forget that the October Stamp of the Month also disappears at midnight on October 31. It's yours for only $5 ($17.95 value) with a $50 purchase. If you are shopping on my website and spend $50 or more, you'll be asked if you'd like to add this gorgeous set before you check out.

I bet that was a little nerve racking for you to have him there during the hurricane. What an amazing opportunity to help people and open doors through service.
