Dustin has been called to the Baltic States Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He recieved his call from President Thomas S. Monson on Wednesday, May 7 2008. It came in the mail about 4:00 pm and we invited family and friends over at 7:00 pm to open it up and find out the good news. As Dustin opened it and read the first few lines, it announced that he would be going to the Baltic States...and everyone was silent...thinking, where in the world is that?? Then he read that he would be speaking Russian...and everyone cheered, then oooohed. At least we knew approximately where he would be going! Luckily, there was a map included in some other material and we were able to see exactly where the Baltic States are. It was very exciting to know that he will be spending the next two years in a country that is so far away and speaks such a different language. They even have their own alphabet.
He will be entering the Mission Training Center in Provo Utah on August 13, 2008 to prepare to serve the Lord in the Baltic States Mission. We are very grateful to the Lord for this great blessing to our family and are so pleased that Dustin is worthy and ready to serve a mission. Go get'em D!
