Mission Call

My little brother Austin got his mission call yesterday. I am so proud of him and love him so much. He is going to the California, Roseville mission. I had a hard time not being disappointed, because you always want them to go out of state and somewhere exotic. But my mature and awesome brother opened his call and there wasn't one ounce of disappointment on his face. He knows that is where god wants him to be.

Now onto one of the funniest things that has ever happened in my life. We pulled the best prank ever on him. My husband made a fake mission call yesterday. This call had everything. Jamie has his old mission call so he copied everything and stuck it in Austins fake one. It was perfect it even had a stamp on it and the church seal. So with everyone's eyes on Austin he opens it up and starts reading, he gets to the part where it states you will serve in the and he pauses for like thirty seconds, and says, "you will never guess where I am going." By now the three of us that know whats going on are laughing so hard and the other ten people that have no idea are screaming where where. So Austin keeps reading and you have been called to serve in the Las Vegas Nevada mission for thirty six months. You will spend ten weeks in the MTC due to the fact that you will be learning Arabic. This is a special mission because you will be serving for twelve months longer than most missionaries. You will be entering gods most vile places, Casinos and trailer parks. He finally throws it down and says, "You guys are freakin messing with me." I have never laughed so hard in my life. It took him about ten minutes before he would even open the real one. Best prank ever.

And even though he thought he was going to Vegas he was still excited. That is why I love my little brother so much. He is a great kid and even though I will miss him so much. He will be a wonderful missionary.
