The Mission Call

My mission call came on July 19th 2013. I waited to open it until the 21st however. It wasn't that hard to wait because my mother decided to hide it from me and I had to work the next day so I wasn't even home to stare at it all day long.  It was a beautiful Sunday and I told everyone to be at my house that I would be opening it at 7:30 SHARP! It turned out that mother nature wanted to give my area a real nice bath. Everyone who wanted and planned on coming ended up turning around and driving home due to the weather and my neighborhood being completely flooded. Luckily my family pushed through the water and was able to be there. It was okay that others couldn't be there because they were there in spirit!
I opened my mission call at about 8:10 pm. 

this is the weather....

RAINNNN

Dear Sister Howard,
You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the England Leeds Mission. It is anticipated that you serve for a period of 18 months. You should report to the England Missionary Training Center on November 14, 2013. You will prepare to preach the gospel in the English Language.

I have to say when I read that I was going to England I had no words. I was speechless and beyond disbelief. I had always wanted to go to England but I never would of guested that that is where I would be serving my mission.
