The REAL Mission Call

Today was the day! Finally, after 8 weeks of waiting. We got THE envelope, the REAL envelope.



In case you didn't catch it all - the Moscow, Russia thing was a joke! Jared has been called to serve in the Melbourne West Mission in Australia. He reports to the MTC in Hamilton, N.Z on Thursday November 20!

Donna Robinson was watching this video and screaming yesterday when I talked to her on the phone. I didn't realize I too could watch it. Your family is so funny. I am excited for Jared. He already is a great missionary. Keep it up, Elder! We sure miss all of you here. Love, Elise

Congratulations to Jared! We are so excited for fun. It was a funny joke especially since there was a false alarm earlier. It was fun to watch him open the letter and read it. Hearing your reactions were also fun to hear.
