I received a call on Monday, June 1st from my single's ward bishop. He told me that my mission call was on the way and I should have it by Wednesday or Thursday. I was so excited that I packed my stuff and headed home to Garland.
Wednesday came and no call. Thursday came and no call. I was way bummed! I kept calling the garland post office and asking them where it was. Around lunchtime on Thursday my aunt Pam called and said that it sent to her house! She lives in Orem and was waiting until her husband came home so they could drive it up. I was freaking out! Where was I going to go to serve the lord for 18 months? Japan? New Hampshire? Chile?
I had my out of state and country siblings on the phone and through video chat. I had family watching me as I cut the top of the envelope. I read the place first to myself.....
"Well?" They asked....
"Uh..." I couldn't say it! It was too shocking....Texas Houston East...English Speaking....leaving when? July 29th? That is so soon! Less than two months!
I finally told everyone, then I got to eat...Potatoes and gravy and ham....mmmm....I love that stuff!
