Relieved and Delighted

The Girl's mission call is open.  She is assigned to the Illinois Chicago West mission, Spanish speaking.

I didn't realize how anxious I was about this until she opened it.  Now I know she will received mail, have medicine available, having running water, power, and internet.  The new worries include harsh winters and tornadoes.  But several people have already bubbled out of the woodwork to say they know someone who lives there, or served there or is related to someone who did/does/is/has.  Funny how small the world is, really.

Th really cool part of this is she will get to go tot he MTC in Mexico City.  So a little international flavor then the safety and comforts of America.  I can live with that.

She comes home from college in two weeks and then the frantic preparation begins.  Maybe it is only going to be frantic for me. I would guess that might be the case.

She already has a temp agency that wants her to work for them all summer. And one of their biggest accounts is right her in our home town.  So that is easy!  And she is already working on the applications for that.  So much to do, so little time.

But I am sincerely delighted and thrilled for her.  And more than a little relieved for me.
