And Just Like That. . .

The postman surprised us today with a mission call.  All of us were SO surprised!  Caleb arranged a little party before evening activities and now our lives are forever changed. . .

We have 104 days to get him ready.

13-15 white shirts (nearly double on all of the clothing requirements Cache had. . . )
Passport & Visas
Etc.
Etc.

He leaves June 18th for the Argentina, Neuquen Mission, with a short stop at the MTC.

I am guessing Cache will be home five days after that.  My mother heart is so happy and so sad. . .

Caleb's Mission

I'm very slow--which is why I'm finally able to get to this post. . . .

So on February 6th, Caleb had his interview with the Stake President to get his mission papers sent off and we started the wait.

We are still waiting.

Through a course of changing Stake Presidents and wrong dates on papers etc., we now have papers at church headquarters awaiting an assignment.  Perhaps next week it will be here.

In the mean time, if you would like to submit a guess, we will post it on our map. I can't promise a treat for a winner like I did when Cache was called because of greater demands on my time, but we'll give you bragging rights :).

On a personal note:   Amazingly, I've been unbelievably patient. I feel that one of the purposes of this delay has been for my growth.  My prayers and study have changed over the course of the month and I've been led to some insights I would have never come to, so I've been grateful.
