Now That I Have Grown a Foot or Two


Wednesday April 8, 2009 my mission call came. Excited does not begin to describe how I felt. Lisbon Portugal, what a fantastic surprise. It is one of the most beautiful places on Earth and has a wonderful climate, averaging 50 in winter and 85 in summer.

THANK YOU for posting that video so fast! I could not be happier for you!! I got all teary eyed watching this video and reliving the moment. You are going to be an amazing missionary and I think you will love Portugal! I read all about it last night and it sounds like an incredible place. And I LOVE that you and Reed will have the same mission language! Awesome! Missions in Europe have their own wonderful challenges - and I'm glad we will share that bond.
I can't wait for your trip down to San Francisco so that we can celebrate together. I'm really proud of you and excited for your next adventure! Congratulations!
Love you!

I am very excited for you. You will be a great missionary. I know you will love the people there. The beauty of the place is breath taking.

Congratulations Blake! I'm so glad we were able to listen to you read your call. Portugal looks so beautiful. It will be fun for you, Reed & Scott to be able to speak to each other in two languages.

OK I swear that I don't sound like that

Sorry to tell you this Blake, but that's exactly how you sound. Isn't it funny to hear how other people hear your voice?

Congrats! Thanks for posting the video for us. We're excited for you. It looks amazing, although pretty difficult for missionary work.
