Jon called home last night!! It was quite a surprise, as he had written earlier that he would call on Friday. So when the phone rang, and caller ID said that it was a pay phone, I just thought it was some person who found a random dentist in the phone book, looking to get drugs off of Todd. (these type of people usually call from pay phones) Then Todd noticed it was an 801 area code, and I jumped off the couch and scrambled for the phone!
It was Jon, and I burst into tears as soon as I heard his voice. Big surprise, haha. It was incredible to hear his voice. He sounds SO good, and is doing SO well.
He will be serving in the Salt Lake City Mission, which includes downtown, and parts of Nevada and Wyoming. It will be English speaking, though he will get an hour a day to study Portuguese.
He leaves Tuesday, and is so eager to get out there and get started. He is super excited about his call, and knows this is where he is supposed to be. : )
So, let's hop on dearelder.com and send him one more letter, today or Monday!
Well it is a surprise. Melvin's grandson is in the same Salt Lake mission. He is serving just south of Salt Lake now. He started in the area Pres. Hinckley was from then Wyo. now south Salt Lake. His name is elder Kevin Bodily so they may run across each other.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the Visa's will start coming. The Chaves elder is serving in WIs. but waiting for his visa.

I forwarded that on to Jon. I'm sure he'll keep an eye out for him!
