   Leaving your child at the curb at the MTC and driving away         One of the hardest things a parent will ever love to do!!

 I'm so proud of this baby brother of mine! He entered the MTC today and to say I will miss him is an understatement. He is the best uncle to Andrew. I know he will do wonderful things in Jamaica 🇯🇲 and bless the lives of so many people! We love you Eric!

I'm seriously going to miss this kid. My parents dropped him off at the MTC today and I am so proud of him and his decision to serve the Lord! He's always been one of my best friends and I can't wait to hear about all the things he learns and the person he becomes over these next two years. Although I'll miss him like crazy, I know he's going to change so many lives, including his own. I love ya baby Broseph and I know you'll do great things!! #ldsmissionary #jamaicakingstonmission #babybroseph

The Mission Call

JULY 11, 2016

Eric's mission call arrived in the mail on Monday, July 11, 2016

He was not home when his dad got the mail.

He had gone out to the desert to shoot his new gun with his friend, Ethan Eckersell

Dad called Mom at work and told her that Eric's mission call was here!

Mom immediately texted Eric's siblings and told them to be at the house

 around 7 p.m. because Eric would be opening his mission call.

MaKayla and Tanner were out at the desert riding motor cycles but they

did not know Eric was out there also.  MaKayla had received the text 

about the mission call arriving in the mail and then they seen Eric and Ethan.

She said to Eric "What are you doing out here?  Your mission call arrived

in the mail today!  Eric said "What the heck!  Mom didn't tell me!"  

They all loaded up and headed home to OPEN THE CALL!!   

Elder Eric Call you are hereby called to serve in the 

Kingston Jamaica Mission!
