A Call to Africa!

Saturday February 16,2013
We went to our mailbox and discovered THE ENVELOPE!

It was our mission call!  We texted all the children to see when we could all get together to open it.
At 4pm we gathered on Google Chat with our hearts pounding the suspenseful drum roll!

You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  You are assigned to labor in the Africa Southeast Area.  !!!!!   Africa?!!!!  Oh my goodness!!
As you can see by our expressions, no one guessed Africa!  What a surprise!

We couldn't be more excited!  We will be serving in the Area office out of Johannesburg South Africa but our area covers 11 missions and aprox 30 countries!!  Here is a map of our area: (in yellow)

Interestingly, Chris and I each got a separate mission call letter (in same envelope).  His said "Your primary assignment is to labor as an area auditor."  Mine said "Your primary assignment is to labor as an office specialist."  Both said our assignment may be modified according to the needs of the area president.
We are to report June 10th!

This appeared on our personal lds.org page.  Chris's says Elder King of course. :)
