Called to Serve

So, Andrew received his mission call tonight. AJ and I had institute, but we skipped out of class long enough to be on speaker phone while he opened and read his letter. He's been anxiously waiting all week for it to come and then he got held up at work and got home later than he usually does. There were three girls stationed in various positions with cameras waiting anxiously for him to get home (aka: Mom, Kimme and Kaiti). Andrew called us and we slipped into the hall for the 'grand opening'. AJ and I weren't the only ones on speaker phone. I think there was probably 2 or 3 other people as well: both grandmas, grandpa and dana that I know of. Well, here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for:
