His e-mail also said he would be calling me tonight. I had to be up at the church to make sure Scott had all of his stuff for Philmont, so I left a strange message on our answering machine. I bascially told Jeffrey to call my cell phone if no one answered the phone.
My message worked! My cell phone rang at a little before 8:00, and it was Jeffrey! We only got to talk for 5 minutes, but it was wonderful to hear from him. He told me he's loving his mission, and he's so excited to be sent out to the field. He's hopeful that his time in Salt Lake will be short and he will be sent to Mexico soon.
Things don't always run smoothly, but the work continues to go forth. I'm happy my son is so positve about this situation and anxious to go serve somewhere!

Yeah - I bet it was great to be able to talk to him!! Enjoy your couple of weeks all by yourself!
I felt such excitement for you as I read your post!
I'm so happy for you! There's nothing better for a mama than hearing that her baby is doing all right. 19 years or 19 months, it's still the same. :)
Yay that is so exciting!! I can't even imagine what it is like being a mom and sending your boys on missions. I know you will be blessed for it :D
Mike had to go to Indiana for a month or two before he got his visa and was able to head out to Tahiti. Some of his favorite memories are actually from there. I am sure he is going to love every minute of it
I'm just now catching up on your blog, which I'm thoroughly enjoying! Glad you got to hear from Jeffrey. We're going to miss him at the office next tax season!
