I went up to Provo Wednesday night for the big opening of my little brother's mission call. We went out to eat at Olive Garden BEFORE he opened it and he was so nervous he barely finished his salad.
He gathered everyone he knew as he tore open the envelope with a $1.51 stamp. (Rumor has it $1.51 postage is a foreign mission.)
The envelope did not lie. Ben got called to the Singapore mission!!
This was each person's reaction after the question was asked, "How do you feel about Ben (or should I say Elder Thomas) going to Singapore on his mission?"
Brookie Monster was sure to snap a few pics.
Ben got to pin his name on the "Called to Serve" map at his dorm.
And then I woke up to this on Thursday morning.
Congratulations Ben! You'll make a super missionary. I'll be doing my research on Singapore. So far I've learned: 1) no chewing gum and 2) they will cane you if you break the law. I can't wait to learn more!

Sarah, what a great sister you are to make the effort to drive up here to be with your brother on his big day. You're the best!!
And remember--you might have had snow to drive home in the next morning, but your Dad and I were stuck in that huge traffic jam when we tried to get home making our 45-minute drive turn into a 2-hour endurance test!!!
