Sunday was a special day of listening to three missionaries talk in sacrament meeting: two missionaries assigned to their area and Kevin as a brand new missionary. Kevin will be serving in the Idaho Pocatello mission. Lucky guy, he gets to go where it is a lot cooler than Arizona! It was a privilege to be in the room when the stake president set Kevin apart for his mission last night. Among many wonderful blessings that were pronounced on his head, I remember the first thing that was said was a blessing for Elder Call to become known as the Elder with a smile on his face constantly. A joyful happy spirit will help him to be successful. Standing in the circle was Kevin's father and his two grandfathers, Fred Call and Tom Farrell. As we said good-by and gave Elder Call a final hug in the parking lot, it was a bittersweet moment. We were thrilled to have him choose to serve his fellowman in the Lord's work in this mission but we will miss him. Vaya Con Dios, Elder Call. Remember these Call grandparents are praying and fasting for your success.

It was really good to see him before he left! I am so glad David and Cindy asked us if we could pick him up from the airport and take him to the MTC!
