MIssion Call

Here is the actual call.  Ray had called the church offices in Frankfurt when it had been about 7 weeks since Robby's papers had been turned in.  The woman in the office said that the call hadn't been issued yet, but she would call when it was.  A week later she called and said that a call had been issued and the following Monday she would recieve everything from Salt Lake and it would go in the mail that day.  So that Tuesday Robby was up way early (for him) and was practically pacing the whole house, waiting for the mail to come.

If you look close you can see that according to them, Delaware belongs to Germany and we live there.  We thought perhaps this was a clue, but not so.  We waited for Jared to get home from work and then had Grandma Dautel on the phone and Richy on skype.  Rike had to work. 



This face about sums up all of our responses to his call.  We were all abit surprised about Milwakee.  I talked to my grandpa after and he said that there is a strong German influence there.  Perhaps, doors will be open to him because of his heritage, that would be closed to others.  I think a lot of people in Minnesota will be surprised that he is from Germany and doesn't drink beer.  But he loves cheese, so he should have fun with that.  I hope he gets one of those cheese hats.
