mission call

Elder Williams is called to serve...

We have been told by many people that mission calls come on Thursdays.  We all have been a little bummed that it didn't come last Thursday.  Today I decided to check the mail anyway and got the letter addressed to

Elder Kolton Williams.

He will be serving in the Philippines Angeles Mission.  He enters the MTC on July 6th.  

Anxiously awaiting

For everyone who is on the edge of their seats.......no mission call today.  I am feeling a little disappointed.  Guess we will check again next Thursday. 

While at Kelsie's track meet we talked to one of the fathers who is a postman.  He said they ALWAYS come on Thursday.  

Feeling lucky about next Thursday.

The mail check!

Checked the mail Friday before we headed to Boise to see Kolton, NO PAPERS!  I actually was not surprised.  I checked again today to see if they had come, and again no papers.  I keep hearing THURSDAYS are the day to receive them.  Maybe by this Thursday....we are heading back to Oregon to pick Kolton up for spring break.  Trying to patiently wait. 

It's Official!

When you have a little boy you know the day will come that he either chooses to serve a mission or explore other avenues. When you bring that tiny baby boy home from the hospital a mission is so far away. 

We have now reached that day and I am filled with bittersweet emotions.  Papers go in today and now we play the waiting game...
