Crismon set Kevin Milburn apart as a missionary going to the Albuquerque, New Mexico Mission. It was Mother’s Day. Crismon felt strongly that Mother’s Day should be free of all the flowers, gifts, food etc. that was so often a part of Mother’s Day in our church meetings. A letter was sent out and read ahead of time. It was nice to keep our worship on that day on our Savior
