Blake started working on his mission paper the first of January. Knowing that all the medical and such were going to take some time. All was finished and ready to be sent off end of April. He had his two interviews and the papers were sent. Then we waited. The process is so much faster now that they email you the call, rather then mailing it back. From sent to received was 12 days. (Cora was almost 3 months) He got an email yesterday morning saying his call had come. Blake didn't want a big deal made, he only wanted a few close friends. They were all excited to come and changed their plans to do so. Leah was able to come as well and it was fun to have her there and be able to do a face call with Ammon, Cora and Braydon. Our printer is having issues and despite changing the ink, prints very faint and skips a few letters. It was a little hard to read, didn't help that he was super nervous and shaking a bit.
Blake has been called to the
Sierra Leone, Freetown Mission.
He will start Sept 12 and will be going to the Ghana MTC.
Leah captured the exact moment he realized where we was going. The slight shock and panic, but a little excitement is all there in that one expression.
Not a call we had even thought of. He is going to have so many neat experiences. We have done a lot of googling and learning in the last day. It's going to be interesting for sure.
Now to begin the visa applications and all the immunizations he needs. Here we go!
