Hello...okay so today Robby received a mission call to the Florida Jacksonville Mission!!!! He is sooo excited and even more excited that he doesn't have to learn a new language! Goooo Gators..... Robby reports to the MTC Wednesday, April 8th. Exactly 8 weeks from today (Wednesday). So much to do in so little time! It was fun to watch him and see his excitment. He tore open the envelope and pulled out this booklet they sent. He didn't see the letter and all he had was the booklet that talked about serving a mission, but still didn't know where he was going. Finally someone said look in the envelope again and sure enough there was the letter! He then read where he was going and so excited! Rachel taped it and hopefully she is putting it on her blog (click on Rachel's blog address on the right side of my blog). Robby told us that he had a dream last night that he couldn't find the mission letter - his dream came true. He was so excited. Robby waited for Rachel and Travis to drive down from Ogden (Travis got off at 4:30) and then Bruce hurried home and Grandma and Grandpa Black came as well as Grandpa Jackson! Preston Butcher was coming over too and he was at the mall and Winchester was closed and took him forever to get to our house! Well worth the wait. After...some of his friends came over to help celebrate and visit. Bruce went and got pizza while Rach and Travis got drinks and treats. It is so fun to see Robby's excitement! We know Robby will be a great missionary. You go, Robby!

Good for Robby! That's exciting! He will be a good missionary!
What a great place to go. He gets to see something new, and speak english. Plus he'll be easy to email. Congrats from us.
