Mission Call

Thom got his mission call! I mean, I know all of you know that already, but still! It is so crazy! He's going to be going to Poland for two years of his life. (Which is by the way two years that he can't wake me up with ice cubes, or poke me, or bite my shoulder, or flip my mattress over, or anything like that.)

I'm guessing that after about a year I'm going to start missing the little troublemaker. And by little I am referring to the 6'5 giant that he has grown into.

I have to say, it's always entertaining for me to see Thom next to other males, they always seem so short! Then I'll make a comment to mom about how short they all are and she'll kind of look at me like I'm crazy and then gently point out that all of these fine gentleman would be considered tall and that Thom is a little above average with the height factor.

But anyway, he's leaving on May 13th for the Warsaw Poland mission. Dad is so excited! He had Thom in the Stake Presidents office about an hour after he opened his call, so Thom could interview for a temple recommend. Then the next day off they went to the Bountiful Temple (the Ogden Temple is closed for maintenance until the 17th unfortunately so Thom couldn't go there) and he recieved his endownments.

It's all so crazy, it just happened so fast and now my brother is all grown up, getting ready to face life (and of course he'd probably kill me if he ever read this, but meh--that's part of being a sister. :) It's a risk I run) it's just so tender.

I wish him all the luck in the world!
