ALEC'S MISSION CALL FINALLY ARRIVED!

Alec had planned on submitting his mission papers back in April. However, through a series of unfortunate events related to wisdom teeth surgery scheduling and insurance pre-authorization errors, he didn't get his wisdom teeth out until August 15th. Alec was expecting his mission call to come Thursday, September 12, 2013, but 'twas not so...



His call finally came in the mail yesterday! A large white envelope from the Office of the First Presidency, and it happens to be addressed to Elder Alec Dean Oblad Mikesell!!!



He wants to wait to open it with family and friends, so here it sits... Stop by the house at 5pm Sunday the 15th, and watch him open it! 

  

There are 142 chocolate chip cookies to share with you! See you tomorrow!




WHERE DO YOU THINK HE'S GOING TO GO?
