Tonight, both our family of four, and Mark got home from spring break. Mark rode a bus home from Georgia with the Michigan Men's Rowing Team, arriving in Ann Arbor around 8 p.m., and we came home from our cruise, arriving back in Port Matilda around the same time. We could hardly wait to find out if Mark's mission call was waiting for him in Michigan, and IT WAS!!
We logged onto Skype, and after a prayer (and a lot of fasting today), he opened the envelope.
Russia St. Petersburg.
We are all still in a state of shock. As much as we didn't try to second guess where he was going, we all figured he was headed to a Spanish-speaking mission, much like his dad. This came out of the blue.
And it's a beautiful thing.
He leaves July 18 (26 days after Ethan gets home).
I can't write more. I am speechless at the moment. And emotional. And so very grateful.

AWESOME!!! So proud of you, Mark! How exciting! Were you all together in Michigan when he opened it?
