Fort Worth Texas Mission, June 5th.
We had a fun night filled with family and friends. We are so grateful for the support and love that everyone has shown Malena. She is excited and a little nervous. We've never been to Texas, and she is glad it is hot in the summer. And not much snow. We have 110 days to prepare, and that already seems like it's getting way to close too fast. :)
We asked all our family and friends to guess where she'll serve. And the winner gets a gift card from Costa Vida, which is Malena's favorite. We had 6 people guess Texas.
And since it was Valentine's day everything was red and pink.
Riley, McKinley, Baby
Rachel, roommate from USU
Cousins: Jenna will go serve in Florida in a month, and Timberly
Emily and Joey
The Alldredge family
High School Friends: Maia, Alyssa, Kaden, Adri, Issac, Amber
Jen, Zac, Joci, Jake, Mark
Great Grandma Silcox
Braxton and Timberly
Grandpa and Grandma McKee
Girl Friends
Best Friend, Amber, who will send her papers in this week.
Great Grandma Silcox giving Malena lots of love and Advice.
And telling her to be sure to keep a journal of her adventures.
It just got real!
We also had our Munoa family all on FaceTime from California. We are so thankful for so much support. Dad and I are so proud of Malena and her decision to serve a mission. She has a strong testimony and will be able to share that with the people in Texas. She loves the Book of Mormon and through her fun personality will be able to reach people and share that with them. We are excited to hear about her adventures.
And a little side note.....on Feb. 15, the announcement came out from the First Presidency that missionaries will be able to call home weekly. They will have access to be able to text, video call, or call on a phone. What a blessing that will be for our missionary and our family. We hope she will lose herself in the work, and not want to call weekly, but if we get a surprise phone call every once in awhile, it will make this mom's day!
