The Great Karnak

Ok,
So this is why Brad is laughing about his call. (If you have heard this story you can skip this post)
Jennifer and Sean were in Florida so we told them to call at 6:00 pm and we would have them listen on speaker phone. Jennifer called about 5:55 and asked Brad if he had opened his call yet (he hadn't). Joking with her he said, "Yea I did, I'm going to Boise!!!" Then he told her we hadn't started yet. When he opened his letter and read Boise, Jennifer thought he was still teasing her and Brad started to laugh and had to convience her that no, he wasn't. He said that he had told Jennifer the first "Mormony" name he could think of and Boise was it!!! I wonder how he would do on the LotteryNumbers? :-)

I still need to see the paperwork to really believe:) This is still very funny to me, good thing he is not going to Vegas on his mission. He may be tempted to hit the casinos and convert the Craps table with his skills.

Jake had a similar experience when he opened his call to Boise, ID. The room was completely quiet (and there was at least 20-30 people there) and then his mom broke the ice with "Oh he is kidding, tell us where you're REALLY going!"
Fun blog Emily/Aunt Janet! I am so excited for Brad! Will you tell him that it is a known fact that the best and hottest missionaries go to Boise!! Good luck at the temple tomorrow too! I wish I could be there! Love you guys!

That is hilarious! Ok...so we were sitting in church on Sunday and one of the young men in our ward got his mission call...to Boise!!! I was unable to get with him after sacrament meeting, but I totally have to tell him to look out for Elder Woods! CRAZY, huh? Hope the temple was awesome! BTW I loved the pics of getting the call...what fun!
