The wait is over!

After a VEEERRRRRY long week of waiting and mail mis-haps, Abram's mission call arrived at his dorm today.

We were all expecting it Wednesday.  However, the MLK holiday delayed the mail by a day.  And then it should have been yesterday.  However, someone at BYU campus mail misplaced all 100 mission calls going to students this week.   The calls were located and delivered to the dorms early this morning.

Abram is going to Xalapa, Mexico.  I had never heard of it, but after I looked it up, I see it is very likely the most beautiful place in Mexico.  Tropical, beautiful, not hot or cold, and on the Gulf of Mexico.  There are also some familiar things from home there--Costco, WalMart, Pizza Hut, McDonalds, etc.  It is famous for flowers, jalapeños, and a very moderate climate.

The coolest thing is that it is a hotspot for Olmec relics.  He will get to see some really cool Olmec heads.  Lucky kid.

It is so exciting to finally know where he is going.

Abram is already fluent in Español, so he is super excited to get going!  He leaves in May less than a week after his 19th birthday.
