Yekaterinburg Russia

My mission call finally came and I was surprised to find out that I will be spending the next 18 months of my life serving the people of Yekaterinburg Russia. RUSSIA! I'M GOING TO RUSSIA!! I am so excited and so nervous. I can't wait to get to the beautiful, cold country of RUSSIA! I can't wait to learn more about RUSSIA and the people I'll be bringing the gospel to. We tracked down the mailman on Wednesday to see if he had my call in his loot of mail. He didn't and after finding out that it wasn't an April Fools joke we cried. We went to the post office and we exchanged numbers and he told us to call at 7:30 the next morning (today) to see if it had come. This morning at 7:15 Brett the mailman called and told me my call had come. We drove down to the post office and got it! I couldn't believe I was actually holding it. We quickly drove to Nicole's and got on Skype with dad, heather, taylor, thomas and opa. Emma was on the phone in Arizona. When I opened it I quickly covered the lines so I wouldn't see. I read slowly and was super emotional. I skipped ahead and saw RUSSIA and freaked out. I could not stop saying..."I'M GOING TO RUSSIA!!!! I'M GOING TO RUSSIA". My mom changed her flight and we were able to share the moment as I found out where I'd be going. I can't wait and anticipate the joy that will come as I humbly, ever so humbly serve the people of RUSSIA!!!
