Another mission for Nana

My mom enjoyed serving an 18 month mission in New Zealand so much that she applied for another one shortly after she came home.  She was beyond anxious to find out where she would be asked to go.  The mailman was interrogated every day on whether or not he had her call.  He was sweet and hand delivered the letter.  

Gary wouldn't let her open it unless he was there around 3pm.  To kill time she went to the gym and then picked up Tiff so she could be there too.  I was on video chat, but hit a button and missed it. Thank goodness Jen & Tiff filmed it!

She loves geneaology work and this couldn't be more perfect.  We are so excited for her new adventure!

I'm excited for her too. I agree, it's the perfect mission for her. She's gonna do some really wonderful work especially with her knowledge of family history and love for the gospel!

I love it! I love that she will love it. I was talking to a missionary in the bookstore who was serving a mission here in Texas going around to the county halls and copying the registrys I said what a fun mission, her response, well its the Lord's work but I can't wait to be done. WOW anyway I am glad she will love it!

I can't believe how quickly she needs to report for that! How exciting that will be for her though!
