Jon's Mission Call

I'm afraid I've been rather slow getting the news out about Jon's mission call. I was cooking for 120 at girl's camp the week the call came and am still recuperating! I was able to come home when he read the call, then returned to camp. We are pleased that Jon will be learning Spanish. This summer he is reroofing the Federal Building in Ogden and has been bringing home some Spanish phrases from his Mexican co-workers. He has studied both Spanish and Latin in school, so I think he'll be a quick learner. He read his call from the bottom up: Language first - Spanish: MTC entrance date - December 15th: and Mission - Mexico Tijuana.' Jon is happy to be learning a language, and we are delighted to have another Spanish speaker in the family. He is grateful to be able to go this year and so close to his birthday, and the timing will be good for getting back into school on his return.
Jon will recieve his endowmwnt on Friday, August 27th at 12:30 in the Bountiful, Utah temple. We'd be pleased to see anyone who is able to join us there.

That's exciting news Jon! I'm sure you will be a blessing to those you serve. I hope I can be at the temple on the 27th. The Bountiful Temple is one of my favorite places. It is so peaceful and beautiful there. I would enjoy hearing about Tiajuana(sp? and the people there as I have never been!
I'm sure that Galen will send his own congrats, if he hasn't already!

Makes me want to listen to some Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass. Mexicans/Latinos for the most part are great people. Jon will really get to love them.
