Denver's Mission Call

Just back from the mailbox with "the mail"

Denver's been getting the mail every day for the past few weeks and today all that strenuous walking to the mailbox a half block away paid off.
His mission call arrived. He's going to the Texas Houston South mission and reports on April 29.
Here's a link to the mission so you can see the area it covers etc.

For those of you who are wondering, he's several hours from where Jo and Rob live outside of Dallas.

Needless to say, we're all pretty pumped over here.

Wait for it...wait for it...

We had the whole family present (except for Cam who was hard at work) either by way of iChat or speaker phone. Tanis was already here. Sherilyn came over and Jay listened in on the phone and Jo and Rob and Kaycee were on iChat with Taylor listening in in New York

Thumbs up from iChat

The proud parents

As you can see, Mckenna and Melia were pretty excited too...

That is SO awesome. Congrats to Denver. It's awesome to have the technology we have now, isn't it? That just wouldn't have been possible very long ago...
