Watch my nephew get his mission call!

See this family?
That's my sister Robin, her husband Dave 
and their 4 daughters and 1 son. 

Notice the 1 son. 

He got his mission call 2 days ago 
and we got to be there for it. 
And to make it even more special, 
he chose to open it up at 
Grandpa and Susan's apartment.

Take a look.

What a fun and exciting time for your nephew and the whole family and I love the appropriate music as he announced where he was going. Also, you haven't mentioned that Austin had his papers in. That's great. We'll look forward to that too.

I am so excited for your nephew! He is going to the very BEST mission according to my son, Nathan. :)
He really loved it there.

I cried as he read his call out loud and I don't even know him (the crying totally took me by surprise). But isn't there something so special about a mission call?
Please tell him congrats from us!
And thanks for sharing this awesome news!

After watching this for my third time I now no longer cry. I'm trying to toughen up for the days ahead. You did a wonderful job capturing the essence of this day for us - faith and family. I love the added touch of the still shots at the end. Dave and I both thank you for this priceless time capsule.
