Jason to serve in Frankfurt, Germany!






Jason to serve in Frankfurt, Germany!

Grandma and I were the first to enter the house, and we were warmly greeted by his mother, Sherry.  Jeff was setting up Skype for the event.  A special spirit of excitement was present as I made my way into the dinning area where laid out, on the table, was a large map of the world.  Post-it tags, with predictions on them, were on the map.  The winner would received a large candy bar.  One of my predictions was Austria which came in second place, but I got the candy as the 1st place winner was not present.


Julie was especially excited as she recently returned from serving in the Washington D.C. South mission.  By 8:30 PM the great area of the home was filled with friends and family, and Jason was seated in front of the television.  After a few short words of welcome, he began to open the larger envelope.  All was silent as he read from the letter, but all I can remember were the words, "you are hereby called to serve in the Frankfurt Germany Mission."





















This was quite a day in the life of a happy young man.
