Here is Nathaniel opening the call!!!!
I am so relieved to know where he is going. I have had a sense that it would be South America, but I wouldn't have guessed Bolivia. Nathaniel is excited! He's been researching the mission and the country.
I had no idea that the call would come so early. He just submitted his papers on March 4. They said it would take 2-3 weeks. Michael and I had to run some errands Saturday morning, and on the way back we stopped at the mailbox. I was shocked to see the envelope in there! Nathaniel was at work, but when he got home we decided to invite everyone over that night. It's a fun tradition for prospective missionaries to invite family and friends over to see them open the envelope and find out where they are going. We invited everyone over at 7:30pm. It was a pretty good turnout, considering that it was the middle of Spring Break and it was last-minute.

I was glad to have chores to keep my mind occupied because I was starting to freak out about the possibility of where he would go. I am so glad to know where he is going and that we can now start learning about Bolivia and preparing. He doesn't leave until August 7, so we have plenty of time.
I made cookie dough truffles, one of Nathaniel's favorites. They were a big hit!
