receiving the call

The cell phones on speaker phone while I read my call!

Of course My call came the one day that week I didn't get ready for the day!

My papers were received in Salt Lake on a Monday(March 16th) and I had received a call from my Bishop that my call was in the mail on Friday(March 20th)! Again things were moving quickly! Of course starting the following monday (March23rd) I would rush home on my lunch break and check the email. And for 3 days I would be so excited as I pulled up to the mailbox and then pull away so disappointed. So on Thursday March 26th I had pretty much given up hope that it would be coming at all that week. However with what little hope I had left I went ahead drove home to check the mail. On the way I got stopped by a train, stuck behind the slowest driver ever! I thought I bet my call is here because my patiences is being tried! And sure enough there it was, 11 days after my papers had been sent to Salt Lake the call was in my hands! I had told my family and friends that I when my call came I would wait until after work to open it so that anyone that wanted to be there could! However it didn't work that way. I ended up driving with my mom into my sister's store, where we met up with my dad, my sister, her husband, Bishop Mangum and his wife and Craig Mergenthaler(however he was too slow and I didnt wait for him to get there before I opened the Call)! It was prefect! I will never forget the moment I read you have been called to Serve in the Georgia Atlanta North Mission. There is a power in the call that reassures you that your call is from the Lord and he truly knows where you need to go!
