Mission Papers Submitted+Lana=MISSION CALL!

I live with some pretty incredibly strong members of the gospel! All of which have considered serving a mission. I am so blessed. After this last general conference President Monson announced some life changing things for many young members of the church...

After this announcement I'm most positive that there were many prayers made and answered about whether or not they should serve a two year (men) or 18 month (women) mission. THREE of my roommates have decided to serve missions! They sure are incredible. Lana, Trisha, and Katie all got there papers submitted within the last two weeks.

This last Thursday I was sitting in the living room and Trisha came running in (literally) and asked me if Lana was home. I said that she was in her bedroom. Trisha runs to her room screaming, "YOU GOT YOUR MISSION CALL!!!" Immediately there was freaking out, screaming, and total and complete excitement in our apartment! Lana had just submitted her papers about eight days previous and didn't expect her mission call for about another week! She was elated (to say that least) to find out where she would spend 18 months of her life which could be anywhere in the world!

The next 30 minutes we were trying to get a hold of our roommates, friends, and Lana's family so that everyone would be there to hear here read her mission call. We had people on the phone, Facetime, in person and Spirit. It was incredible. I can't wait for Trisha and Katie to get their mission calls!

We finally got everyone situated and she opened her call (click "her call" to watch it)! She's serving the the Canada Calgary Mission! Speaking English and entering the Provo MTC on February 27, 2013! Lana is originally from Brisbane, Australia and then moved to Texas when she was nine and now she's going to spend 18 months in Canada! She's so excited! 
Congrats Lana Banana!
