“GET A NOTEBOOK…write in it your goings and comings, your deepest thoughts, your achievements and your failures, your associations and your triumphs, your impressions and your testimonies.” ~Spencer W Kimball
Jeanette and my husband Dave are cousins. Our husbands work together and her family lives just a few doors down from us. Her oldest son, Justin, got his mission call last night. Since Justin is at BYU, we all sat around the (photo: Justin and Jeanette) speaker phone as he announced his mission call. As I videotaped the call, Justin announced it was Buenos Aires Argentina, I could hardly contain myself because that is where my son Jake went on his mission but I was still not sure that it was the same mission as Jake's because there are at least four missions in the city of Buenos Aires so, I kept asking "which one, which one," and as you can see on the tape, I totally lost it when they said, "Buenos Aires North." Wow, I thought, what are the chances that cousins would serve in the exact same mission. We're so proud of Justin, he's such a good guy. He is so prepared to go on his mission and he's going to make a great missionary.
