This One is for You, Sister Hamilton-



Not only is Autumn Alyss Hamilton one of my roommates, she is one of my best friends.

Dearest Autumn submitted her mission papers almost a month ago (geeeze louise, right?!?!) and got her call TODAY! Since we all suspected that her call would be coming during Thanksgiving break and she would not be here in Provo to open it, she so kindly asked me to open the call for her and read it to her over the phone! I was so completely nervous to open her call for her, but knowing that she trusts me enough to experience such a life-changing moment with her made it all better :)

We tried to FaceTime, but our iPhones decided to not let us (thanks Apple...) so we reverted to over the phone! I taped the call opening on my computer so she would be able to see every little detail of the opening! Go ahead and watch the video of the opening, it's a gem! The other voice in the background is our other equally amazing roommate, Amanda! Excuse the voice/live-action delay, I am not sure why my computer did that!  ENJOY!!!!


Oh, and be sure to watch ALL of it! There is an unexpected twist that isn't in most mission calls. Can you pick it out? :)


Autumn, I can not even compile into words how amazing of a missionary you are going to be! To know that you will be a mission nurse specialist for the lucky people of Santiago, Chile is such a comforting thought to all who know you because we know just how passionate you are about the cause of nursing and being a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am humbled by the thought that you would give me the privilege of experiencing this with you! I am so completely excited for you and the gals of Madison 4 are going to miss you dearly, but we know that you are going where you are meant to go :) LOVE YOU, AUTUMN!!!!
