i've been in utah all weekend for amy's wedding. on friday night i went to dinner at joe's crab shack with amy and jason, amy's parents, sisters, and grandparents. i got there a little earlier than everyone else so i was sitting in the car waiting for them to arrive when my mom called me.
"paige... guess what just came in the mail for you"
"MY CALL!?"
"YOUR CALL!"
i originally didn't want her to open it. i wanted to be the one to tear the seal, open the letter, and the read the words sent to me from president monson. but then i decided i didn't want it to sit at my house for two more days, teasing me because i didn't know what it said. so i told her to open it.
"mom, don't read ahead!!!"
"okay i won't, i'm covering the paragraph!"
"go, mom, read it!"
"dear sister munden, you are hereby called to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. you are assigned to labor... FDJKLSJA OMG PAIGE JFLKDJFKLA OMG!"
"mom, where!?"
"YOU'RE GOING TO DJAKLFJDKLA!"
"omg mom, tell me!"
"you are assigned to labor in the SPAIN MADRID MISSION"
this episode of screaming and excitement was followed by lots of crying and hyperventilating and more screaming. people, i am elated. i feel like i've been waiting foreeeeever for this. i honestly did not care where the lord sent me. i figured if he wanted me in some podunk town in montana or something, i would be willing and ready! but let's be real for a second. i can't wait to go to spain. i am so excited. i can't wait to get home and see the letter with my own two eyeballs and to research everything i can about madrid. i feel so blessed with this opportunity and sincerely appreciate all the congratulations i've already gotten via call, text, facebook and twitter.
basically, i'm going to madrid, spain and i report september 12th. and i am thrilled about it.
