My sweet baby brother Nick just got his mission call this past Wednesday, oh man he is not old enough for this. He hasn't even graduated high school yet! I seriously cannot believe that this is happening, it doesn't seem real to me. For a long time, he was always a 13 year old kid who played soccer. Now he seems a little bit older, but no where near old enough to go on a mission for the next two years.
When we got to my house for the call opening, ALL of Alta high school was there. Seriously I coudn't even move, he had so many friends and family there to support him, it was great. There was tons of food and desserts for people to snack on while we waited for everyone to get there.
We had two giant posters for people to guess where Nick would be going, one of the entire world, and one just of the United States. As I was driving to my house I had a sudden burst of inspiration, he was going to Korea!! Ennnnhhh! I was wrong. And so was pretty much everyone else. Only two people guess where he was going...PERU!! Nick was called to the Lima Peru North Mission and he reports to the Provo MTC October 26th. He is there for only 3 weeks then takes off to the Peru MTC until he is released into the field.
It was such an amazing, spiritual experience listening to him read his call. He couldn't even get past "Dear Elder Crump" he was already choked up. As much as I am freaking out because I don't want him gone, I wouldn't have it any other way. He already has such a strong spirit about him, I can't wait to hear of the good he will do for the people of Peru. Nick is one of my best friends, and I couldn't be happier for him.
