Guatemala

Whitney opened up her mission call tonight.

I was at our RS birthday dinner.  Helga Laing came and spoken to the women about Blooming Where We're Planted & how each of us are special.  I left early, relying on my committee to clean things up

We arrived a little early so we helped get family on google+ group chat and had fun messing around with Whitney and her friends.

What a wonderful time. Opening up your mission call is like nothing else.  It is so thrilling and as you sit and hold the envelope you just think, "oh my goodness, my life is about to change forever and in this package holds where I'm going to be living the next year and a half of my life!"  It could be anywhere!!

 She received the call to serve in the Guatemala, Guatemala City Central Mission, Spanish speaking and will report to the MTC in Guatemala on August 7, 2013.

Whitney is very excited! totally blown away at Guatemala and is nervous(in a good way)  She's been reading a missionary blog of someone who is serving in Guatemala right now.  Earthquakes and volcanoes seem to be a fairly regular occurrence.  I look forward to reading her letters as I'm sure they will be very interesting :)

My little, beautiful, blonde haired, blue eyed little angle of a sister is going to serve the Lord in and the people of Guatemala! I am so amazed by the woman she is and has become.  She is my example and hero.  I love her with all my heart.  Hearing all these scary things about Guatemala (not gonna lie) has me a little nervous but I know that Lord will protect, lead and guide her.  If anything did happen to this wonderful little sister of mine I honestly don't know what I'd do...I'd pretty much fall apart...so don't let anything happen to yourself Whit or bad news for me..
