It seems like Nathan has been waiting for a while for his mission call. In reality, from the time he put in his application to when he received the call was less than 2 weeks - one week from when the stake president submitted the application. That part of the process was fast! It was more of a process to do the necessary doctors and dentist appointments, several interviews, and a lot of paperwork. We had made the doctor's appointment back in December, which wasn't available until April, so he had to wait until that appointment was done before submitting the application. The day his call came in was both exciting and nerve-wracking. He saw that the call was in, with a link in his email that he simply had to click on. He waited though until he could open it with friends and family. So he didn't know where he was going until he read the call. We all made our guesses where he'd get called to, and then it was time to read the call. Owen and Nathan's best friend Shawn guessed correctly. (I had made a few guesses - Romania, Boston Massachusetts, and Argentina. What's interesting is that two of Nathan's good friends, Shawn and Devan, also received their calls this summer. For Shawn's call, I also guessed Boston, but he got called to Mesa, Arizona. Devan was the 3rd to receive his call, and I still guessed Boston. He DID get called to Boston! I had a feeling one of them was going there.)
So exciting! Nathan had most of the summer to work and prepare for his mission. His call came on May 17th and his home MTC began on August 8th.
Here is a portion of him reading the call:
