DES MOINE, IOWA!!!!

On Feb 17, 2011 Wade's best friend, Michael Hess, opened his mission call. He is going to Des Moine, Iowa!!! We are so excited for him. He checks in to the MTC June 8, 2011. There were about 30 people all gathered to watch him open his call. Cool thing is that KSL film crew was there to interview him and film the opening. They are doing a special in between conference about the MTC and it being the 50 year anniversary of teaching there. Wade was entering the day they filmed at the MTC and so we are excited to see this and if he was filmed at all that day. NOW it looks like Me, Krista and Leanna could be in this because of Michael! (However, I tried to stay out of the camera's path.) We are just thrilled to know that Wade will see Michael open his call (on film). I know he would have wanted to see it. His mission includes many states. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, Illinois, little of Arkansas and Oklahoma I believe. Crazy! Right in the heart of Pioneer history. He's gonna love it! Michaels brother had JUST BARELY come off the plane (the night before) from his mission in the Ukraine. (He's sitting by him wearing the suit and name tag.) It was awesome watching him read his call and see his brother get emotional and shake his head yes as he was reading about what the next two years would bring. What a moment. The rest of the evening we just played with Piper! She is the cutest! Michael's niece. Anyway, it was a wonderful day.
