The Call...

The much anticipated call arrived in the mail on Saturday, June 8, 2013!  It sat on the table a long time before we could clear schedules and get people over for the opening!  We got Clif and Lindsay on skype, Amanda on Facetime, and Ashley on Tango.  Friends gathered and it was time...the night before Bishop Winiecke made his guess of Salt Lake City South.  He was joking...








 When Joel said Utah, Salt Lake City South, we thought HE was joking to humor the bishop!  Then he said, "That's really what it says."  We were all in a bit of shock and still laughing!  We asked Bishop Winiecke if he'd had in inside scoop and he said no, he hadn't!  Joel reports September 11, to the Provo MTC and we are very excited!  We hear it is a busy, busy mission and we know that is where he is supposed to serve.  We are moving near his mission so the stake president called Salt Lake just to let them know that and they said since it's not the same mission, Joel's call will stand!  YAY!  He was worried it would change.  We know he is supposed to be there, the Lord called him there for a reason.  Congratulations Joel!  You will be a fantastic missionary!
