Mio Figlio

Anziano Burton is where he belongs!  He called yesterday from the airport en route to Milan. He sounds great, ready and sweet, and we recorded some fine Italian as he described the First Vision.  This morning the kind mission office called to say he arrived safely and after training, he will be making street contacts in the centre of Milan! We are so happy!  He has been called to serve first in Padova with Elder Burr.  He must be thrilled! He can email Wednesdays, starting next week.

I wish I could edit my screams. I wish we hadn't lost the camera I am holding so you could see his face. Listen to his voice when his eyes read ahead to where he is called. It's always been his dream call! Listen for Gentry's squeal and watch Jed's face when he reads over Ky's shoulder where his brother is going.  Now he is there!
