We invited family and friends to come over and watch him open his call. Thank goodness for Skype, even though it was a little surreal and hard for him to hear what was happening on our side. We also had my siblings calling in on all three of our phones...home phone, my cell and Brad's cell.
Nate set the opening time as 5:30, and we told everyone it would happen right at 5:30, no matter what. But at 5:25 my mom called and said they were stuck in traffic and would we PLEASE wait for them? Traffic on the highway was terrible, combine 5:00 traffic and rain and you get a mess! So poor Nate had to wait another ten minutes, but everyone finally got here and the opening commenced!
Mexico, Hermosillo Mission,
reporting October 30 to the Provo MTC!!!
I can't believe he's going on a mission! And to Mexico! Not that I didn't think, hope, and dream that someday Nathan would serve a mission, it's just hard to believe that he is already almost 20 years old and is a responsible, mature young man, not a goofy little kid or an annoying, angsty teenager! I'm a little nervous, but very excited for him. We're all glad the waiting is over, at least the finding out where he's going part...now we just have to wait four more months until he gets to start this exciting new adventure!
Congratulations Nate!! Thanks for sharing Jenny! So excited for him!
