Hello, World!
I finally got my mission call Tuesday. I'm going to (drum roll, please) the Alpine German-Speaking Mission! I report to the England Missionary Training Center on 5. September. My mission covers Southern Germany, Austria, and most of Switzerland.
Leaving Germany this July will be much easier now that I know I'll be coming back in two months time. I'll probably get homesick for Germany anyways. Last time, after being here only three weeks, I pretty much had withdrawals. I mean, I broke into tears at a grocery store just because it wasn't Germany. Luckily it was night, so nobody was around, and they had bubbly water, which made things a little bit better.
I'm amazed they're sending me to the England MTC. That's where they send German-speaking people who are going to German-speaking missions. I think they think my German is better than I think it is. I must say, though, that the beginner classes in the Provo MTC would be way too easy. It's still unusual to send an American to the England MTC for Deutsch. I wish I could see more of England than just the MTC, though. Someday...
Interesting fact: I have ancestors from just barely inside my mission boundaries. How cool is that? And just after I got my call, we started looking at more genealogy stuff about the people . We were able to find several more people!
If I could have picked my mission out from the 300-something missions all over the world, I would have picked this one.
It's absolutely perfect.
