~~~CALLED TO SERVE~~~

Rachel opened her mission call on Thurs, Feb 12th!  It was so exciting just waiting to hear where she was going to serve...  She has waited for three+ years since she made her decision to serve a mission so this was a BIG DEAL!!! It is kind of a surreal feeling just sitting there and waiting for her to read those words..."Dear Sister Dean you have been called to serve as a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!  You have been assigned to serve in the CANADA CALGARY mission!"  A moment that I will NEVER forget! :)  We are so proud and happy for Rachel and her decision to serve a mission!  She is going to change so many lives with her sweet testimony and her confident, courageous personality!  She isn't afraid to say what she thinks and feels!  I know she is going to be the best missionary!  How exciting she gets to be in a spanish speaking mission and learn spanish! YAY!!!  Words cannot describe how much we love and are so very proud of you Rachel!  We sure got lucky when you  chose us to be your parents!  You have been nothing but a great example to your dad, siblings and I.  WE LOVE YOU RACHEL ELIZABETH!!!  Now bring on this next adventure... OH CANADA...EH!!!
