Titan Missionaries from Olympus Class of 2012

A feel good video for Thursday.  I remember getting my mission call. I walked to the mail with my dog Flash...hoping for the white envelope.  I didn´t think it would come that day.  And there it was.......WHITE, BIG, FULL OF MY FUTURE....and it was thick meaning I would go somewhere foreign.  I peeked inside on the short walk inside and I remember seeing 2 words: Russian and Baltic. I went inside and my mom asked if I had looked....I think she knew I had from the look on my face.  My dad happened to be home at the time and so were a few of my sisters.  We were all sitting around the table and so I opened it and read it.  I cried......tears of sadness because I had hoped to go somewhere speaking Spanish.  Little did I know that I would love my mission and the Baltic people so dearly!  Watching this reminded me of those feelings.  But it also instilled in me a hope to have my own children go on missions someday and the excited anticipation to see where they will go and to be a missionary mom.  I hope dreams do come true!  Enjoy this video.
