Today my sister, Leslee got her call to serve as a full time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was called to serve in Rancagua, Chile for 18 months. She will learn & speak Spanish. She goes in to the MTC in April.
She had her mission call sent to my house in case she was out of town when it came. But she wasn’t out of town, so instead of getting to open it right away, I had to wait for her to come over! That was really hard for me. Wyatt and I teased her as she came in because she wasn’t running and flailing her arms in the excitement we thought she should be displaying. But she was plenty excited. We had to get everyone(family in St. George) on speaker phone before Leslee would open and read her call. But when she
finally did, it was pretty neat.
I am so excited for her. She is going to be such an awesome missionary. She will be the companion everyone loves to serve with because she is so easy going, and really lifts up people around her. She has such a strong testimony of the gospel, and people will be able to feel that testimony not only by the words she says, but the love that exudes from her soul. I am going to miss her terribly though. With both Leslee and Carrie gone on missions, I’m going to be one lonely Rica Consuela. But it will be fun when Leslee comes home cause she and I will be able to speak Spanish together!
