Gilmore Received His Mission Call

We knew it was coming. The large white envelope from Salt Lake City addressed to Elder Gilmore Lee Jenkins. But we had no idea what day it was going to arrive.

The heads up had come from Bishop Kevin Barnes on Tuesday that Gilmore would be receiving his call this week. It was about 1:00 in the afternoon when I heard the Mail Lady driving up the road. I headed out to the mail box to see what she had for us today. She smiled as she handed me the stack of mail and said, "Sending a missionary out aren't ya? I've been delivery a lot of these lately."

Hurry Gilmore! Open it! Open it!

Hardly able to contain my excitement I headed back up the driveway to the house. Half way there Gilmore called from work. "Has the mail come yet?" he asked. "Yep! You had better hurry home after work because your call has arrived!" I was so excited.

Finally everybody got home and Gilmore's girlfriend, Carly, arrived. So it was time. Enjoy the photos and the video of that evening when he found out that he would be going to the Oklahoma Oklahoma City Mission. We all laughed at the fact that he would be reporting to the Missionary Training Center the day before his 20th birthday on February 20, 2013.
