Opening My Mission Call

Here's the video of me opening my mission call!!  Enjoy!!  The people who joined me on Skype were Grandma and Grandpa Sutton, Grandma and Grandpa Kotter, Aunt Lacy, Aunt Ginger, Shelby, Shae, Anna, Nate and Libby Gerber, Jessica Gerber, Neicy Frandsen and her children.  My cousin Matthew and Mema listened in on the phone.  I opened the call in the lobby of my dorm J Hall of Helaman Halls.

IT IS HERE!!!!

I just got a call from the Cannon Center!  My call is here!!!  I'm opening it at 5pm tonight!  Stay tuned!!

Waiting Not So Patiently

No calls in the mail again today!  When is it going to come?  Mom and Dad are still here waiting for the call.

Waiting again!

No mission calls came in the mail today.  I guess MLK day delayed the mail!  Maybe tomorrow.  Mom and Dad flew in today to watch me open my call.

"I'm sitting at my computer in the missionary dept. Looking at your handsome son. His application just came in. How exciting!  Congrats  love you!"

It is a blessing to know that the Lord knows our needs and sends us tender mercies each day!!
