Today around 2:00 Jamie Lynn sent out a message to all of us that Whitney's mission call had come in the mail! Around 3:15 I decided that maybe we should just make a quick run out to Grantsville to be there when she opened it. So Cassie, Harlee and I headed out at 3:45 and got there a little after 5:00. Whit didn't get off work until 6:00 so we got there and surprised my mom (I had given Jamie a head's up to watch out for us,) and then we all ate dinner. As soon as Whit got home (she was surprised too!) she ran to her room to get out of her work cloths then we all gathered in the family room to hear the exciting news. Mom called Dad and I called Jeremy so they would be "there" too.
Drum roll please!................................... Sister Tavia Whitney Wilcox has been called to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Jackson, Mississippi!! We all cried because the importance of this call is written in the letter they send and it really hit us all as she read it. I recorded what i could of it and will post it on here when I find my camera! But I just wanted to say congratulations to my sister and tell her how proud I am of her for making the decision to forget herself and do The Lord's work. She will be great!!
