The call is received!

Earlier today, Elder Jones' mission call came! We were all so very excited! I sent out an email to those that might be interested in coming over, Grandma brought some big maps, and everyone made their guesses where he was going.

Just before 6 PM, he was finally allowed to open the envelope, with Aunt Tammi on speaker phone, Jami recording it, and Aimee joining us on Skype.

He started to read out loud... "Dear Elder Jones, you have been called to serve..." and everyone held their breaths, "...in the Michigan Detroit Mission!" We all cheered! What did come as a surprise, though, was how quickly he was being asked to report to the MTC - February 16 - barely 6 weeks away!

We have so much to do in the next 6 weeks - but first, I need to send some chocolate to the person with the closest guess - and second, I'm going to start researching Detroit!! :D
