Rachel's Mission Call !!!

My cousin Rachel got her mission call yesterday!!! A TON of friends and family gathered around to watch her open it and share in that sweet moment. She was very emotional, as a lot of us were. I've never actually been in the room when someone has opened their call. The spirit was so strong and the wording was beautiful. It talked about how she would realize a joy she had not known before in serving and teaching others about our Savior Jesus Christ.


We were all DYING to know where she'd be called to go!

Drum Roll Please

HONG KONG CHINA!!!
Big surprise for everyone!!!



Emma was very affected by the emotions and the excitement of the night. She is now telling everyone she wants to go on a mission just like Rachel. She already invited Auntie Cori and Auntie Carli to be there when she opens her call to "preach the Lord." She made a book for family home evening where she wrote that she wants to go on 81 missions.

I have a feeling Rachel has even more people to inspire in China!!! I can't wait to hear about all the awesome experiences!!!
