Last night we all gathered together in the dining rm, everyone had there cellphones out with family and friends on the line to announce Elder Waylon Huffman's mission call. Waylon and His Dad happened to be in Puerto Rico so that Waylon could earn the last of his mission money. He has already earned all the money to serve!
So with Jeff and Waylon on the phone, Buckley opened the envelope and handed it to me. As I read, of coarse, I began to cry. But I read it. And this is what it said!
Dear Elder Huffman:
You are called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the Philippines Tacloban Mission. It is anticipated the you will serve for a period of 24 months. You should report to the Prove missionary training Center on Wednesday, December 16, 2009. You will prepare to preach the gospel in the Cebuano language. Your assignment my be modified according to the needs of the mission president.
we are all to excited for Waylon to serve the Lord. Waylon's reaction was shock and awe. He was freaking out and dumbfounded and excited all at the same time. He can't wait to go.
We know that Waylon will help change the lives of those he serves with and those he serves for. He will be a great and honorable missionary!
