There was a chance that Tyler would receive his call while we were on vacation and we checked the mail first thing when we got back. On Saturday the Bishop sent Tyler a text telling him it was in the mail and he should have it on Wednesday. That didn't prevent Tyler from checking the mail every day. Now he can go back to never checking the mail. He and grandma went to a motivation seminar in SLC on Wednesday so I told Tyler I would try to stop by and check the mail during the day but had a really busy day at work and just no time. He sent me a text @ 4:30 asking me about it and when I got home after 5:00 I checked the mail and there it was. I sent him a text. My mom said that he was so excited that he started shaking and luckily it was towards the end of the seminar as he ceased listening to Sarah Palin and was on his phone texting. He got home and b-lined it for his call and said he was going over to grandma's. So we went over and decided to open it at 8:00 p.m. as some friends were coming. Michael was not home yet and his cell had died so I had Tyler wait a little longer but he was really anxious to open it.
He has been called to serve in the New Jersey Morristown Mission and enters the MTC on August 25th. We are so excited for him and think it will be a great place to go. We are already looking forward to picking him up and going to New York. We of course got out our road atlases and looked at every city in New Jersey. He already has everything he needs.

We are so excited for you. Please make sure to let us know when the farewell is. Tyler will make an amazing missionary! I served in Pennsylvania and I love the east coast.

How wonderful! I'm so excited that he's received his mission call and what a great place to serve! He will be such a great missionary - just like his family members before him!
