Noah's Going on a Mission!

Today was a big day.
A great day.
A monumental day.
An exciting day.
An anxious day.
Noah, my long distance boyfriend of 20 months, got his mission call this morning.

We had been anticipating this day since Wednesday this week and it was very much worth it.
It's probably a good thing that it came on a Saturday because I could not even handle myself in school the almost 9 hours we waited to open the call.
I was over babysitting six children and they probably had to watch over my physical and mental health more than I had to watch over theirs.
Finally, it was time to open the call.
All the six children I was watching were gathered around my side, standing on their tip toes trying to hear Noah talk to me over the phone.
Everyone in his family that was local was there in his living room.
All of work.
All from their homes.
All from down the road.
To watch Noah open his calling to the Montana Billings Mission!!!

I really can't lie.
My first instinct was "Hahahaa where the heck is that. I forgot Montana existed. And all the 600 people who live in Montana. How disappointing for him. Hahaa."
But as I got to thinking, Montana has got to be beautiful!
It's cold.
It's elevated.
It's bigger than Statesboro.
It's where he is personally needed by the Lord!
I got to looking on Google and saw that Billings is beautiful!
It has a tiny cute skyline surrounded by canyons and hills and mountains!
I looked on Pinterest to start hopping on some cute Montana art projects and learned that Montana consists of whiskey.
Bullet framings.
Spur earrings.
And green grass.
I'll have to tap into my well of creativity and depict and translate the state of MT through my artist brain.
I am so excited for him.
To send me letters.
To send me pictures.
To receive all my mittens and scarves and blankets I will learn to make.
To serve the friendly and the notsofriendly folk of Montana.
I am so excited to be a missionary's girlfriend.
I am so so proud of Noah and have faith he will be safe and taken care of by his generous Father in Heaven.
He will be so blessed and so will his family for his righteous desires.
I love him so so much!!
