Mission Call

We have all been on pins & needles waiting for Clancy's mission call. In the perfect world, I could picture the papers coming in the mail, waiting until the whole family was together, Kirk calling and Clancy opening and reading the call so everybody could celebrate together. Well....Here is how it really went.

Clancy went to the mailbox on Wednesday - no letter, Thursday - no letter, and on Friday there was finally a letter. Levi and I were the only ones home and Clancy was going to rip it open, when I stopped him. "Wait!! You have to use a letter opener so it will be neat, and I have to get my camera, and you'd better go get Levi so someone from the family can wittness it." So much for the perfect world:-)

"Can I open it yet??"

"Do I want to know?"

"Hmm....let's see...."

It is to Boise, Idaho ... just kidding.
"You are assigned to labor in the Paraguay, Asuncion Mission""That's pretty cool! Where is Paraguay???"

This is the official mission call, and below is a map of South America. Paraguay is located in South America. He will be serving a Spanish speaking mission.

We had some really great Elders visit our house. Many of them still keep in contact with us.

Thank you all for your comments. I thought the list of things to do before we got the call was long. Boy was I wrong. You should see the list of things that we have to do now :-}
