Hey all...
Well, it's official! Sean got his mission call and was able to open it yesterday (thanks to the speedy US mail, nice people and the Frontier Desk, the airline faieries, good friends, cell phones, and a patient gramma. Thanks Mom!)
He has been called to serve in the Baltic Mission. The area includes Estonia, Lithuania, and Lativa, is bordered on one side by the Baltic Sea (duh!) and Russia and Belarus on the other. He is to report to the MTC on October 7th, 2009 and will learning Russian (is that like Spanish? hmmm, i wonder.)
How fun to have both he and Nate gone at the same time and to have them be in the same 'corner' of the universe. Not sure when Sean will leave the MTC, but maybe he'll end up passing Nate in the air (he is due home the end of December...unless he extends, which he is threatening to do. Do they even do that anymore? not sure.)
Anyway....many thanks to all of you who have been such good examples of service in your lives. We all need help to parent. It takes a village. For sure.
Hugs to all.

ReplyDeleteWe had a real good visit the nite before, Huh, Sean? You will be such a breath of fresh air for the people there! They will always remember and be influenced by how happy the Gospel makes you, as you teach and testify of our Savior. Love, Gram W.
