Called to Serve


My baby brother Tanner received his mission call today to Cuernavaca Mexico. He leaves May 27th. We are all so excited. He is at BYU-Idaho right now and has been waiting for his call and was really disappointed when it did not come today. Later in the day my mom called and said the call was in HER mailbox here in California and she could not get a hold of poor Tanner. Finally she did and it was decided that she would not peek and scan it and it email it. And then Tanner read it over speaker phone. He is thrilled to be learning Spanish and going out of the country. He is also excited for 80 degree weather all year long. His kind of place! We will miss him so much but know he will do great things in Mexico!!

So did anyone guess right? I thought I remember you saying that someone guessed Mexico.

My Sister-in-lay Kathryn guessed Mexico. I am not sure what her prize is! :)

I'm so jealous that he will come home speaking fluent spanish! I want to speak the language with ease and grace but DON'T THINK THAT WILL EVER HAPPEN (even if all my in-laws and husband speak the language beautifully:) Tell Tanner I wish him great things in Mexico. -Am
