My family will soon have TWO missionaries out at the same time! A few weeks ago my parents, Caleb, and I surprised my little brother by driving down to Provo and taking him is mission call that had come in the mail. He was expecting us to just read it to him over the phone, but we decided it was a once in a life time chance and it was HIS call. So, we made a quick, but fun trip for it!
Here is his nervous face as he's opening the envelope
This is his excited face!
Everyone standing around with three phones on speaker to the rest of the siblings
And this is his pleased look.
Quinton is super excited to have been called to the Russia, Novosibirsk mission. He enters the Provo, UT MTC May 18, 2011.
Caleb was such a good traveler! We drove down (5 hours) on snowy roads and attempted to come back that night but only made it half way. We slept, got up in the morning, and made the rest of the journey home.
I'm glad Caleb and I could tag along with my parents to be there when he opened his call. We're excited for him and know he'll be a great missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Sheila told us you were off to Russia and beyond... Congrats and we're guessing the next 2 months will go bye-bye pretty fast!! We hear they speak quite a different language there!! Good Luck. :-)
