The Temple

Thanks to my parents, Eva, Joey, Crystal, Matt, and Cynthia

for coming to share this special experience with me!

one step closer to my mission!

Mission Call

I was really surprised to find my mission call in the mail today!

Of course, I couldn't open it with only Max home,

so I drove to Publix (with the letter next to me to keep it safe)

and bought ingredients to make two pies.

Lemonade Peach

Apricot Strawberry

So I spent the day anxiously mixing fruit and sugar,

thinking of all the places I could be called to.

Croatia

Chile

Spain

Bulgaria

England

Wisconsin..

France

Uganda

Utah..

When everyone got home from work, we all placed our

guesses on a map of the world.

"Where in the world will Mitchell be serving?"

   

Then, finally, the time came to gather and open the letter..

I was getting very excited.

All my life I've known this day was to come,

and it was actually here.

  

And I was actually about to find out where I'd be going on a mission. 

Mexico Guadalajara East Mission!

I have to say, I was crying like a baby. I'd never actually considered what it'd

be like to go to Mexico on my mission.

I'm really excited to go! I know it will be the perfect place I'm needed.

I need to practice my Spanish.

I can't wait to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to families in Mexico!
