March 22nd, 2012: I opened and read my mission call in front of my family (in person, on Skype, Facetime, and on speaker phones) and close friends.
As I read the long awaited for and greatly anticipated mission call letter, I got to the part that said "you will labor in the. . ." and my heart skipped at least two beats as my eyes came upon the words "California Ventura Mission"!
And so it begins. I report to the MTC on May 23rd to prepare there for 3 weeks before finally getting to begin my adVENTURAs in California!
