The Answer is...

Nah is going to the Phillipines Quezon Mission, and will speak Tagalog! She reports to the MTC on April 21, 2010. We are so proud of you, Becky!

Last night we drove to Provo to hear Becky's voice recital. We stayed at the recital for as long as time (and as Clark might say, sanity) allowed, and then we left. Becky didn't want to open it in the car or her apartment, but she was tired of waiting. So we found a chapel near her old apartment building. There must have been a ward dance going on, because there was loud music and people in costumes. We found an empty room, and Nah tore it open. Taa daa!

IT'S HERE!!!

Nah's mission call was delivered today! It's... um... certainly in a sealed white envelope all right. Hasn't been steamed open or anything. Noooo..
No, really, we wouldn't do this to Nah. I would have killed somebody if they'd done that to me. We did hold it up to the light, but that doesn't mean anything because they layer it. I'm pretty sure that's deliberate.
Postage is $1.56, which means that it tips the scale at 6 oz. If the same trick works now as it did for me in 2007, that mean's she's going foreign.
Clark holds with Helsinki, Ash holds with Arkansas, and I hold with Japan. Tomorrow we'll see who is right, and who is dead. I mean, who is wrong.
YAY!

This is it!

We knew as of yesterday that THE CALL IS IN THE MAIL! Nah is excited, and we are all holding our breath. There is a flurry of last minute guessing. We are also wondering, which day will it come? Wednesday? Thursday? When will the holy trek to Provo commence? No one knows. The next post will be the big one!

The Papers are IN

This is exciting.
We're proud of you, Nah!

The First One

November 28, 2009
Yesterday marked three months until Rebecca's 21st birthday, which means that she's eligible to submit her mission papers! She'll meet with her Stake President tomorrow in Provo, and hopefully he'll hit the SEND button. After that, it's just the long wait during Finals Week.
Dad's guess: Denmark
Clark's guess: Helsinki, Finland
Ashley's guess: Arkansas
Emily's guess: Japan
Mom's guess: Eastern Europe
