After weeks of waiting and wondering, Austin's call finally arrived in Friday's mail. I texted Austin at school and told him "It has arrived!" His reply was "*gasp*" The envelope sat on the kitchen table for over 24 hours. Austin wasn't quite sure when he wanted to open it. He said he had been waiting for this moment for over ten years so what was a few more days?
Tonight we gathered before dinner and weekend activities, had some special family time and Austin opened his call. We took a video of it so you could feel like you were there with us:
He is excited. Just a week ago he was saying how he thought it would be good to stay state-side, but get a different cultural experience. I can't think of a better call he could have to suit just those purposes. The Lord knows him well and Austin will be serving exactly where he can thrive:
