The Happy Day at Last Has Come...


Wow what a day! The mail arrived at 12:30 and Holden did not get home from work until 6:15. Needless to say it was the longest day I have ever seen. Any way this is what he opened and read, Dear Elder Norton, You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the Brazil Sao Paulo Interlagos Mission. It is anticipated that you will serve for a period of 24 months.
You should report to the Brazil Missionary Training Center on Wednesday, May 5, 2010. You will prepare to preach the gospel in the Portuguese language.
We are so excited for this new experience that we as a family get to have...
