Called to Serve


I am so excited to announce that my little sister received her mission call last Wednesday. Ever since she told me that she was going to go on a mission, I have teased her saying that she is going to come out to the Washington D.C. area. Never in a million years did I actually think that she would. That being said, Valerie was called to serve in the Washington D.C. North mission! She mission does not cover Virginia at all, but will be splitting her time and will serve in the Washington D.C. visitors center. Its going to be a huge temptation not to go and visit her, but I know that she is on the Lord's errand. I talked to her the other day and she is so excited and ready! I am so excited for her and extremely proud of her! She will be a great missionary! So she reports to the MTC in Provo on December 9th, and then mostly likely will report to D.C. sometime after Christmas. Get ready Ducky, because winter out here is not the same as it is in Utah. The ice storms are nuts! I love you and will do my best to stay hidden.
