In.Credible.

At approximately 12:45pm mountain daylight time, the phone rang. As a girl walks from the lobby into the kitchen area, she is informed that this particular phone call is for her. The receiver is in hand. Undecipherable screaming is coming from the other line, and is exchanged in the like manner, no translation needed. Tears stream. Breathing becomes difficult. Heart races. It finally came.

"Are you okay? You look like you just won the Miss America pageant!"

"I pretty much did," she said, "my mission call came!"

True story. And I would like to thank everyone. All the support, pep talks, patience, and great advice... it all is greatly appreciated. I opened my mission call at 4:00pm this afternoon with family gathered in the front room and other family on speaker phone. I will be reporting to the Tennessee Nashville Mission on May 25, 2011 to the Provo MTC.
