Kelsey has expressed interest in serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since the age of about seven. She decided to start the process of applying for a mission call in the Fall of 2016 while attending her first semester at BYU. While working on it, we decided to renew her passport early (it would expire during her mission time) just in case she received a foreign call. Normal wait time for a passport is 6-8 weeks. Kelsey got hers in 2 weeks! She completed the interviews and submitted her papers on September 26, 2016. The Stake President told her the call should come in a couple weeks, but the soonest possible date was October 6 (a week and a half!). Imagine our surprise when on Thursday, October 6 the big white envelope arrived at our home! After some quick texts and arranging of things, Kelsey decided that night was the best time to have certain people there to witness her opening it! She caught the FrontRunner train home from Provo. I tried several times to attach the video, but nothing is working. Here's a screenshot instead. Sorry.
Ok, maybe I got the video to work??? We'll see...
Mexico Cancun Mission
Starting February 14, 2017
Report to the Mexico City MTC for 6 weeks
We had all kinds of guesses, but Mexico was not one of them. We didn't even know there's a mission in Cancun. Her dad and I had vacationed there a year and a half before, so it was nice to have an idea of the place she'd be going.
A little over 4 months to prepare, including finishing up 2 months of school.
Here we go!
