i waited and waited and waited by the mailbox on friday- everyone told me that mission calls come to hawaii on fridays so i had my heart set on that. it didn't come. they were wrong, and i was disappointed. i went about the rest of my weekend not expecting it till monday. however, i forgot that mail came on saturdays. i came home after helping at the temple open house and checked the mail- the box was empty. i went in the house and found some new mail on the couch, and figured that it didn't come. i was disappointed. i tried to get over it and got ready to go to the beach. my two friends came over and hung out for a bit and then we left to go surfing. as i was getting in the truck, i thought- heck i'll just check one more time... and to my surprise, my large white envelope was in the box. i was thrilled to say the least. it was such a surprise. i was not expecting it till monday. i didn't even know what to do with myself. i immediately phoned my mom to tell her the news. she was so so excited. everyone was. i quickly went in the house and set up i chat and skype with mom, dad, ty, lauri, and the girls on one computer, and jared and les on the other. my two friends jono, adam, along my roommate suki were there with me to watch and film me open it. i didn't cry, but i did a little choked up. i will post a video soon. i am so excited to serve in florida, and am so so happy it will be in spanish! wahooooo. i report january 19th.
