On Wed. January 23, 2008 I headed for the mailbox
as I usually do. I brought out a big white envelope
that said Elder Grant Edward Farnsworth. Wow,
I was so excited but feeling emotional that Grant
was going to be on a mission serving the Lord. As
a little boy he has always wanted to be a missionary.
I headed home as fast as I could opened the door
saying "Grant guess what I have?" he came in
grabbed it from me and said "I am opening it now"
with a big smile! I said "no not yet". We need to
call our family and friends to take part on the
OPENING of your call. We had wonderful support
from family and friends. Grant opened his packet
at 7:00 p.m. There was a HUSH in the crowd as
Grant said You are assigned to the Baltic Mission!
I said "Where is the Baltic?" He continued
telling us that it is in Eastern Europe. He will
be serving in Latvia but the mission also includes
Estonia and Lithuania. He will be learning the
Latvian language. We have spent a lot of time on
the internet. Grant is excited to serve and reports
to the MTC on Wed. March 12, 2008.
