Me seeing if I could telepathically read where he was going.Just so you know my telepathic abilities don't exist.
Loren reading his call.Loren opened his call February 5th, 2009. The call came that day, we had all waited all week, VERY impatiently. The week was filled with mixed emotions, excitement, sadness(mostly felt by mom), anxiousness, nervousness, we were all REALLY ready for Loren to open it!I was so nervous, and anxious, so much so that I could not help pacing around. Loren flew home to Boise that night and of course his plane was delayed.We put the little kids to bed, to let them get some sleep. We were all waiting at Mom and Dad's house for him to arrive.Loren finally arrived very late, we woke the kids up and we all sat around on the couch in anticipation. Loren bore his testimony and shared a scripture with us. The spirit was very strong as we watched this man stand before us, that not so long ago was a boy. We were all sure he was going to some foreign land, but as he read his call to the Texas Houston Mission we were all overcome with a feeling of comfort knowing he was headed right where he needed to go, a place just for him. A place to grow,learn and teach others. Tears streamed down his face and of course down Mom's too. It was such a special night. I will remember it forever.I am so eternally grateful to my Brother for the decision he has made to go on his mission. He will be and already is setting such an incredible example to our family. He has become such a strength to all of us. I love you Loren, we all do.
The next evening Loren revealed where he would be going to our extended family. Our parents fixed dinner for all of them. They had ribs and all the fixens' has a hint to where he would be going.
