Called To Serve

This last Wednesday the 16th, Tyler received his mission call in the mail! After what seemed to be the longest two weeks of his life, he went out to the mailbox at around 2 o'clock and to his excitement he found that large white envelope addressed to him from Salt Lake City. He let us know that he had got the envelope and waited for his sister Heather, brother Brett, and a few friends to show up to the opening get-together in his apartment's kitchen.

Waiting to open the call

Finally after everyone had put in their guesses of where his call would be to, and after getting various family members on skype and speakerphone the highly anticipated moment had finally arrived. With shaking hands he tore open the envelope, pulled out the booklet with the mission call letter underneath so he could read line-by-line. He took a deep breath and began reading,

"Dear Elder Archibald: You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints." paused and his eyes got wide, "You are assigned to labor in the Honduras Comayagüela Mission."

We are so excited for Tyler. He reports to the Provo Missionary Training Center on June 29th and will prepare to preach the gospel in the Spanish language.
