She opened her mission call on June 18 with our family in West Jordan, so I was just on the phone. She opened it and read it word for word until she got to the country. Then she said "OH MY GOSH!!!" and then everyone began to shout excitedly and I couldn't hear where she was going. It took like five minutes to finally find out!!!
The whole time that she was waiting for her mission call my mom had been joking that she would be called to Boise Idaho. So Emily was SUPER excited when it turns out she's going to Frankfurt, Germany!!!!!!
Here she is with her best friend Amanda, when it first arrived in the mail. (I stole these pictures from her Facebook page, which she just barely created a month ago.)
You can just see the excitement in her eyes!
Her report date was July 31. We said goodbye and took pictures by the Provo temple.
Then my family went to drop her off at the MTC. I stole this picture from my mom's Facebook. It is the sweetest!!! I just love how happy she looks.
"I'm going on an adventure!"
We've gotten 2 emails from her so far. I am thinking of making a blog and putting her letters and pictures in there. Right now she's having a really great time at the MTC learning lots of German and making friends. She's still doing artwork, portraits of her companions that they really like, and she seems to be getting used to the sleep and food schedules. She's also writing loads in her journal, already. She sounds really happy and loves learning and teaching the gospel!
Can't wait to hear more from her.
