Called to Serve

April 14, 2009 The day finally came as we waited patiently for the mailman. Mom came home from work because we knew the mailman came at 10 am. As we opened the door he said, "I bet this is what you are waiting for".



We then had to wait all day and just look at the envelope while wondering where Carson was called to serve.


The time finally came as everyone met at our house for Carson to open the letter. We tried to get Melanie and Scott on the internet video, but we couldn't make it work. We just had to hold the phone next to Carson.


Called to serve in the Mendoza, Argentina spanish speaking mission. Carson had always had a feeling he would be going to a spanish speaking mission.


Dad and Carson hug as we are all thrilled with his calling. Uncle Mike served in the Bahia Blanca Mission, so mom knew he would be safe.


Family and friends shared in the excitment as we celebrated with pizza.

After the evening was almost over, Carson broke the news to us that he had carefully opened the envelope earlier in his bedroom because he just couldn't wait any longer. CHEATER!!!
