Four siblings from the Christopher and Ann Reid family in Twin Falls, Idaho, will soon join the ranks of more than 78,500 full-time teaching missionaries serving globally for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
When starting their family, the couple first adopted a daughter named Isabel. Three months later, Ann Reid gave birth to their second daughter, Elizabeth, who goes by Elle. A year later, they welcomed twin boys, Eli and Isaac. The family also has three younger children, for a total of seven.
All four older siblings—the girls are both 18, and the twin boys turn 18 in July—have desires to serve the Lord.
Isabel Reid, who prayed she would remain in the United States and speak English, was “thrilled” to be assigned to the Missouri Independence Mission, where her aunt also served. She enters the Provo Missionary Training Center on May 20.
Her sister, Elle Reid, prayed to serve in Germany, and her prayer was answered. She was assigned to labor in the Germany Frankfurt Mission, the homeland of her mother’s ancestors. She also enters the Provo MTC on May 20.
Twin brothers Eli and Isaac Reid both opened their mission calls on the deck of a cruise ship during a family vacation. Eli will serve in the Guatemala Quetzaltenango Mission. Isaac was assigned to the neighboring Guatemala Antigua Mission. Both brothers enter the Mexico Missionary Training Center on Sept. 3.
