Courtney's Mission call....You'll never guess

Okay...so around March Courtney came home for college for the weekend and comes in our room and sits down and tells us she wants to go on a MISSION, and she feels she needs to go now. You could have knocked us over with a feather. What happened to the 4-year plan...she only has one more year of school and she will graduate. Well, of course Courtney had already checked and she can put her scholarship on hold for up to 2-years. So she had her plans already figured out she just needed to get her paper work in. So her mission call came today....a week later than expected. Courtney is on the directorship at the Oakcrest Girls Camp this year, and she lives up there all week, for the next 3-months. So I called everyone and they said they could make the drive up to her and surprise her. So, here she is with her call before she opened it. Reading where she is going.....WHERE.....YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING!
Kandace telling Courtney DON'T GO! Man, we never expected this one, but then Cameron's call took us all by surprise too!
The family is in SHOCK, and I think Courtney is the most surprised! Soo....where is she going???Watch as she opens her call and lets us all know.

And when does she enter the MTC????

And who won the family guessing pool, and wins dinner for two on Steve....NO WAY... Cameron, how did he know?

This is a testimony that someone else is really in charge of these mission calls. The gospel is TRUE! Congrats Courtney, you will make an AWESOME MISSIONARY (Hope she was able to sleep after this)
