Brianna's Mission Call!!!

Last Friday my mom called to let us know that Brianna's mission call had come. We had all made our guesses & now was the time to see who was right. (I had guessed Russia & Brian-Argentina)
We all waited for everyone to get there and even had my sister and her family on skycap so they could be part of the exciting news.
Brianna opens the letter, and pulls out the book and begins reading. We were all expecting an the mission to be stated in the first paragraph, but Brianna kept on reading about being a servant of the Lord. We were all getting a little impatient as she began reading the whole book (actually just the whole first page) to us. My dad kept saying, "Brianna, where are you going?" Her response, "I don't know," and she would keep reading out loud to all of us. Finally she flipped through the book and saw a map and said with a confused look, "Lubbock, Texas? Oh, yeah... Lubbock Texas!" My other sister said, "Isn't there an actual letter or something?" They then looked in the envelope, and inside was a nice letter with the "Texas Lubbock Mission" written in the first paragraph. I think she was supposed to read that first. :)
We are SOOOOOO excited for her! She is going to be such a great missionary and she has such a sweet and fun bubbly personality that she will get along great with the people of Texas, (since Texans are the friendliest people you'll ever meet!) She leaves for the MTC on July 8th so we are looking forward to a big party on the 4th of July. Congratulations Brianna!!!!!
