Dear Sister Blum,

 You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are
assigned to labor in the
South Africa Johannesburg Mission.
It is anticipated that you will serve for a period of 18 months.

You should  report to the South Africa Missionary Training Center 
on Thursday, November 11, 2010.
You will prepare to preach the gospel in the English language.















THE CALL HAS ARRIVED!

A rather large white envelope arrived in the mail this afternoon at approximately 12:20 PM. It arrived in Utah. Kerri is in Idaho. So, it is coming by vehicle in the care of Mom and Dad to Rexburg to be opened within the next 24 hours.
                     The next question is . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
When and Where is Kerri Going?!

The Papers Are Submitted . . . And on their way to the Prophet of the Lord.

All of Kerri's interviews are complete, and they are on there way to the Prophet. To be assigned. We are now just awaiting that blessed day in the mail. They are being sent to our home in Utah. So, she will open it there. We'll have to skip on home for that one! Kerri is way excited and bore a very powerful testimony in Sacrament meeting today. And she is amazing! One of Kerri's entries for the day directed to me in my notebook:
Do the things you are supposed to do regardless of how difficult it may be to do. There is no greater feeling than to stand and claim you are worthy to receive those things you have prepared for through obedience. On the other hand how tragic it would feel to be unable to achieve those desires because of your choice to choose the easy path and your disobedience to the small and simple obligations.
She will be a wonderful missionary. And she will be called where the Lord needs her. Anywhere she goes, she will bless the lives of many around her, and she and countless others will be blessed for it. The strangest part is, Yazzi will be almost 7 when she gets back! CrAzY!
