Mission Call =]

My mission call came today! Peru Lima South!!
awesome!
I report to the Provo Missionary Training Center on November 3rd. Then after three weeks there, I will be going to the Missionary Training Center in Peru for six weeks! Woah, Three months in the MTC! But I want to be pro at Spanish, so I will be needing those weeks!

Well, it was a pretty hectic day, regardless of getting my mission call. I secretly didn't want it to come this week because I had some big things to do.
- a 5 to 7 page review essay for New Testament
- science test opened today
- I am giving a talk on Sunday
Ok, well now that I list it out and see that there are only three items, it seems like no big deal. But it was though. Because I pretty much have not done homework all week. I'm lazy, get over it.

And today, I was with my science group in the Geology Museum (sounds smart eh?) before class. We were working on our project when two of my roommates texted me "Your calls hear!"

Naturally I told them not to open it (I would not be suprised if Jesse did)
Then I called my mom to tell her. She freaked out haha.
I told her I wanted to wait to open it on Sunday night because I just wanted to get all of my stuff done and over with.
She freaked out again and said she could not wait that long hahaha

Then I had to go to class, so I told her I would just call her later. When I called her it was then decided that I would open my call at nine that evening.

The next couple of hours, I was focused on my essay. Playing beautiful classical music from Pandora. It was wonderful, I even had a candle lit.

Nine o'clock came around
People were gathering from near and far
The talking and noise slowly dispelled into silence.
I began to open my letter, excitement growing and growing
"....PERU LIMA SOUTH MISSION!!"
A roar of cheering erupted.
Everyone whistling and clapping
I could not stop smiling
Hugs all around
Picture after picture
Congratulations and Thank yous
Happiness and Joy
Anxious and Excited
Family and Friends
Great, unforgettable Day!
