Sean's Mission Call

The last 6 weeks have been VERY busy. Sean returned from visiting his Gramma and Grampa McAndrew in Pennsylvania. He along with his brother Robbie were there for 2 weeks. They had a chance to visit with cousins they hadn't seen in over 2 years. They had a good time.

Sean was home a day and then visited with President Dalton and his mission papers were submitted. 15 days later Sean received his call and he is going to: Germany Frankfurt! We are all excited for him!! Sean took 3 years of German in High School and Wes served in Munich from 79-81 and Becky served in Berlin from July 06-February 08. Needless to say it's going to be fun having another Whitnah serving in Germany! I told Bethany that she needs to shoot for a mission now and hope for Hamburg. That way all the German missions will be covered :)

The day after Sean received his call we were off to Costco to get passport photos, then off to buy luggage, suits, shirts, ties, shoes, etc..etc...etc... It was fun and exhausting all at the same time. The crazy part was that he was given only 5 and 1/2 weeks from the time he received his call on November 7th to report to the MTC on December 17th!!

It is all working out. His passport has arrived and copies have been mailed to Germany for his Mission President. He has been to the Temple this past week and has given his farewell talk. Phew!! He is SO excited to serve and can't wait to. It is great.
