Preston didn't get the mission call on Wednesday (I think he was disappointed), but Thursday. He had to work until 10:30 pm, but got someone to work so that he could come home at 7. When Bruce got home, he asked where Preston was going. I said he'll know at 7. Bruce said, "Let's go over there." I said, "We can't cuz we didn't invite them." Bruce said, "Let's invite ourselves and go over there."
Right then the phone rang and Caller ID said, "Ryan Butcher." I answered by saying, "WHERE ARE YOU GOING" really excited. Preston told us he didn't open it yet and told us to come over. When we got there, Lisa came to me and said that when Preston came home he asked if she invited us. Lisa said, "No," cuz she didn't know if Preston wanted us over there with all his friends. He didn't answer her and turned around and called us! Bruce said later "...sometimes Preston liked us better than his own parents." (lol - ssshhhh, don't tell Lisa and Ryan). Anyway...we're excited for him! Preston has been called to the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC SANTO DOMINGO WEST MISSION! I told Preston that when he flies over Florida, to wave to Robby! Robby is excited for Preston and told him to "embrace himself in the work cuz there are people waiting for Elder Butcher to teach them the Gospel." We are sooo excited for our "boys." Good luck Preston! We know you will serve our Heavenly Father with all your might, mind, and strength!
