I'll go where You want me to go....





Patiently waiting for family - notice the unopened envelope under his elbow









Blain trying to contact his Mom and Dad on speakerphone - notice the envelope, still unopened






Still waiting


Lorri is trying to conference in Grandma and Grandpa Thomas, Blain is still waiting - boy does he have patience! (:


(sorry I didn't get the picture rotated)





Tanner dialing Grandma and Grandpa Butler.






Finally, the envelope is being opened





The excitement is building.
The boys were on the edge of their seats






Blain reading his mission call - Tucson, Arizona!


Unfortunately no one won the $1000 dollar prize from Grandpa Butler.







Blain was thrilled to be learning Spanish, notice the cell phone on the couch and in his hand, we couldn't hear them but the Grandparents and parents heard the announcement.








Talking to his Mom and Dad as he reads through the information book








The Call! ( sorry I didn't rotate this one either)








Elder Blain C. Thomas

Thanks Wendi! That was great! We sure appreciate you facilitating the whole event. I really wanted him to be able to open his own mission call and he was able to do that with family around him. We are very excited and know that Blain will do a great job! This opens a whole new world for Blain and us. Sooooo, who is coming up for the farewell? j/k Actually I was hoping that Wendi, Steff and I could sing a song for the musical number.
Lorri
