Called to Serve - T-Ca$h Style

On February 19th, 2008, my brother A-Team opened his mission call. He was called to the Canada Toronto West Mission. He entered the MTC on June 18th, 2008 - just days after Branson and I got married.

Friday night (February 19th, if you were wondering) my brother T-Ca$h opened his mission call...

The room was full of our family, Grandma, this Bishop and our buddy Alex and about a million of T-Ca$h's friends. Ok, about 20 of his friends. but the room was packed. And you can hear the cheers that erupted when he announced that he was called to the England Manchester Mission. We were all excited. Our Grandma's parents were Mission Presidents in England Mission that included Manchester at that time. Pretty sweet.

But our family was more interested to hear when he was leaving.

You see, Austin has been gone for over a year and a half. He is going to be coming home sometime in June, we think (since he left in June two years ago), so when Tay is going was what we were super interested in. Wondering if he would be able to see Austin, or whether he would miss him and go 4 years without seeing him.

So when Ca$h read that he was to report to the MTC in England on June 18th, mom and I erupted. We laughed and gawked. We had been talking about it all week, and I was convinced that they were just going to miss each other. So when he said June 18th... It totally solidified my conviction. I'm pretty sure that they'll miss each other by days.

England. T-Ca$h is going to England. He's going to come home with a cute little accent (just like my friends Spence and Sam did when they came home from England... ha ha). And he's going to be such a great missionary. I'm so proud of him for deciding to go on a mission, and for being worthy to go in the first place. He's going to be fantastic.

And how crazy is it that A-Team and T-Ca$h both opened their calls on February 19,th and they both go to the MTC on June 18th. Seriously... Crazy!
