Elder Bean!

Devin got his mission call! My mom and I were at Girls Camp this last week, and we told Devin that if he got his call while we were gone that he could NOT open it without us!
So we're sitting down at the amphitheatre at camp on Wednesday listening to our stake president give a talk. I glance down at the parking lot, and see a red van just like ours! I thought to myself, "Well, there are lots of red vans like that, it can't possibly be ours." Then I noticed the sticker on the back window, and knew it was our van! I leaned over and told my mom, and right after that, the camp nurse came over and said that there was someone here to see us. On the way down to the parking lot, we talked about how they might be pulling a prank on us because we couldn't see Devin or Bryce. But then they got out of the car, and we knew that they were here to open Devin's mission call. We ran the rest of the way, and Devin opened the envelope...

Dear Elder Bean:

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 Arizona, Tucson Mission. It is anticipated that you will serve for a period of 24 months.

You should report to the Provo Missionary Training Center on Wednesday, July 28, 2010. You will prepare to preach the gospel in the English language......

Sincerely,
President Thomas S. Monson

He is right on the Mexican border for his whole mission. He will serve in Tucson along with parts of New Mexico and Texas.
It was really fun to have them drive all the way up there to open it with us. Devin even made the comment, "I'm probably the only elder that got to open his call at Girls Camp!" He's going to make a great missionary, and we're so excited!
