Merry Christmas Lane!
Every Christmas Eve our family has a little Christmas program, each person takes part in the program somehow (tells a story, plays music, sings).
Every year my brother Lane always tells the story the Christmas scout, which we all love. This year it came time for Lane to tell his story and we were all very excited. Then he hands my mom a present and tells her she has to open it because it is part of his story. Right when she opened the present, we all spotted the white envelope, and the room flooded with tears. LANE'S MISSION CALL. And the best part…he kept it all a secret, always making comments that sounded like he wasn’t going on a mission anytime soon, little did we know he was waiting for his call the whole time.
Lane was called to the Mozambique, Maputo mission in Africa and will be speaking Portuguese. He leaves April 27, and he is so excited. Jake happened to catch some of the action on tape check it out. This is for you Brittany wish you could have been here.
We are all very excited for Lane and can’t wait to see lots of pictures. Maybe he will end up living in something like this….
...or maybe this!
Haha that's a great story about his mission call! Very exciting. Merry Christmas!

ReplyDeleteKevin told me right when he got the text from Bird, and then we told my family. And everyone was way excited and happy for him...even though they don't know him! Hahaha! What a freaking sweet mission call. We wish we could have seen the whole thing go down. He is going to make one awesome helper for the Lord!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It is SO Lane to surprise everyone like that. I'm glad you got it recorded for me. I'm saving my money for a SWEET vacation to Africa in 2 and a half years!!!
