"It could have been so bad..."

My younger brother Jared FINALLY received his mission call. He left for Calgary, Alberta, Canada last Sunday to go visit his cousin, Craig who had just gotten home from his mission and to see all the family. We were notified by the Stake President on Friday, Oct 31 that SLC had changed his status to "Call Issued" so we knew the call was arriving in the mail while Jared was in Canada. Well, low and behold, a large white envelope arrived on Friday, Nov 7 so we had to wait 2 LONG days for Jared to arrive home. He decide to open his call alone in his room. He came out saying....

Arcadia California Spanish speaking!!! He kept saying, "It could have been so bad..." I laughed so hard! He was like, I seriously was imagining myself reading, Warsaw, Poland because sometimes the Church does crazy things like that!

He leaves December 17th!!!!!! And my mom will tell you, it's 5 1/2 weeks away!!!

We are planning on taking him through the Columbia Temple on November 25th. I can't wait! I love that Temple so much. This has been such a miracle in the Steele family. We are so excited that he will have this experience. He made a list of his 'Top 10' and California was listed as 7. He is so thrilled, and Ryan is pumped to write him letters in Spanish!
