Well, if that's where He wants you to be...

So today I was bouncing around YouTube and came across some interesting videos.

I started out with this one:



I first heard this song when a friend of mine, Papo, sang it one evening while playing the piano. I love the song and I haven't heard it often, but I like it when I do get to hear it.

Then I started clicking around the "Related Videos" and found a bunch of "So-and-So reads his mission call" videos. The situation is usually the same: family and friends gathered in a living room surrounding the future missionary, someone is holding a cell phone with a friend or cousin on the other end, cameras are ready to snap and that sealed, white envelope is in-hand waiting to be opened. Watching made me nostalgic:



It reminded me of the moment I opened my mission call and watching these showed me how each "mission call opening" is very similar and very emotional.

Then I clicked on another "Related Video". In contrast to Adam's, this one made me laugh a little. Again, same setting, but this time pay attention to the reaction when Ty reads his call...



I got a tickle out of this one because if you'll notice, when Adam read his destination, everyone got all excited, cheered and even tried to challenge each other on the proper pronunciation of the location. In contrast, no one really reacted when Ty read his call...until he further announced that it was Spanish speaking! Yeah! (watch it again)

The differences in reactions gave me a little tickle. But, we all know, truly, every mission is amazing and full of new experiences no matter where you go. But how much cooler would it be to go to Spain than to Texas?! I mean, really folks! Just kidding. The Church is true everywhere, but man, Spain would be sooo cool!
