Michael's Mission Call

Michael received his mission call this week and we are in TX!!! It was great being able to share the fun with Melissa and David. He did a great job to start out reading slowly and clearly so we could understand him on speakerphone, but then...everyone was yellin and screamin so loud when he said where he was going that we couldn't hear. Oh... I'm rambling along,
He's going to...
SOUTH AFRICA JOHANNESBURG reporting Nov. 27th which is Thanksgiving Day!!! He'll miss BSU's last game but I think by then he won't care. Maybe Ryan and David would like to go along with us!!!
He leaves from Boise and goes straight to the MTC there in South Africa.
It is amazing to me how the Lord knows each one of us. Michael had even said this was a place he would like to go.
I will send some pics/video along later of him opening his letter so we can all see the craziness!!!
Congrats Mikey, we are excited for you!
