Monday December 29th Rylee received her Mission call. She had just left to go shopping with Kenedy, Avynlea and Anna when she sent Kefford and I a message that her call had come in. I wanted her to come home immediately and open it but she stayed with her plans of going shopping and didn't come home until a couple of hours later. When she got home she changed into a dress and we all gathered together while she read it. I was nervous and she was emotional which was really cute. After reading what felt like forever she finally read that she was called to serve in the Arizona Phoenix mission, English speaking, and would start her home MTC training on March 23 and enter the MTC on April 1st. We were all a little stunned with her call, I really thought that she would get somewhere foreign but it not that she would be assigned an ASL mission in the states. Very quickly we rallied and were so excited for her. Kefford left to go call Rod Givens to tell him because his oldest, Cam, is currently in that mission serving. I told Rylee we needed to tell Katie Givens so she could hear it from her and not Rod so we did. Katie was with Brynn not heir way to their cabin and when we told them the news they were so excited that she would be seeing in the same mission as Cam. It was fun to tell them and hear their reactions. I am so proud of Rylee and as much as I am going to miss her and do not want her to leave I know she is going to be such a good missionary and the people in Phoenix Arizona had no idea how lucky they are.
