Kammie's Mission Call

My sweet sister just got her mission call,  on the day that we thought it would come we had already been expecting it for a few days so I took her out for a little mountain bike ride to take her mind off of everything, but of course it came in the mail while we were gone so we made a made dash for the house so that she could open it.  

Here are a few pictures of the day

Kammie made me laugh so hard when she said that we had to wear out helmets in the car on the drive to the trail.  Kammie said that she wished that she had a bumper sticker that said "Super Safe Citizen" I was so embarrassed she kept putting her head out the window and waving to people,  I laughed so hard and was surprised that I played along and kept my helmet on the whole way, I was also surprised when we got there and it really wasn't as bad as I thought, people don't really look at  other people in there car as much as I thought that they did.

 Aaron left her call in the mail box so that she could be the one to pull it out.

 Kammie is going to Guatemala Retalhuleu Mission, she is going to be a great missionary!  We are going to miss her so much.  It has been so fun to the boy to see and be a part of her putting her papers in and getting her call. 

The other night during scripture study we talked a little bit about missionary work, which led to questions about how missions are paid for, and Garret said "Kammie won't be able to go for a long time because she would have to keep working for a long time to pay for it, and then have to go on a different mission".  We let him know that other people (like family and friends) would help pay for some of it since she probably wouldn't have enough money to go. He was ok with that.   Later that night after we had put the boys to bed Sam came out and said that he wrote a little note to Kammie, I asked what it said so he read it to me, it was so cute he had 1$ and 10 cents and said that he was going to give some of his money that he had earned to help Kammie on her mission it was so sweet.  My boys loves her so much and will miss her in our home.
