No big white envelopes were waiting for us upon our return from Florida, but the mailman got quite a warm reception when he arrived, envelope in hand, this afternoon. Sam and Savannah weren't home and I think the 3 hours we had to wait between the time the call arrived and the opening were more stressful for me than the 3+ weeks we've been waiting since Sam submitted his papers!
So the wait is over! Watch the video below to hear Sam read his call. And, by the way, nobody guessed where he would go.
Sam is super excited! He hates to be cold (understatement) so it looks he's set for the next couple of years. :) July 16th is a full four months away, but I fear it'll be here before we know it.
We're so happy for you, Sam!

He leaves on my bday! So exciting. Mesa AZ is his mission. He will love the people. :).
As Kent said in his e mail a few weeks ago "you're not called to serve in a place. You're called to serve in place of the Savior." :)
Dana, I read that quote on Kent's mission blog and I love it! That's exactly how it is. :)
Sam, there are flashes of expression on your face as you opened and read your call that so remind me of your Dad. As for the call, wow! Polish up those discussions and hit the sand running!
Denise is crying...I LOVE missionaries!!! Congrats to Sam...he will be a wonderful ambassador of the Savior and of the church he loves!
That is so great!!!! Congrats to him. To all of you!
Oh my heart! I have been a bad blog follower for so long! I love this so much! That made me tear up a little bit! How exciting!
