Where in the World is Betsy Going?

[Tuly]

So Betsy's papers where turned in last Monday. Where in the world do you think she is going? and when do you think she will get her calling?

[Pilcrow]

mmm I will be generous.

France.
Perhaps it will be her into-the-field excursion, though, from serving at the Temple Square Mission. Unlikely they would send her overseas from that, though. If not, France, then Texas, because she should be so lucky.

I don't know what time frame. It has not been made known to me.

Antarctica

[Steve]

My vote's state-side since Betsy's just what this country needs.

[Lily]

Hmm...I've been stewing over this one. My guess is Hungary or Florida. Do I win a free trip to either of those locations if I'm right?

[John]

harhar. Does "stewing" and "Hungary" constitute a pun?
Whether or not, I'm all in favor of the eastern European thing. I taught those two Bulgarian biophysicists in Marburg, who invited me to come see them the next time I was in Sophia. Maybe Betsy will be the one to take them up on it. But since Edward covered the New York territory, maybe Betsy will take the Washington State stint.

And by the by, I think it should already have come, so let's say tomorrow, Thursday, the 14th while she's having her wisdom teeth extracted.

Hey! how about Canada, it can be a tough mission( i know all missions are tough) and cold, but some of those areas are simply beautiful.

For those who weren't here today (Thursday, June 14th, 2007) you missed the broohaha. Betsy went this morning to Dr. Mortensen who extracted all four of her wisdom teeth at one fell swoop, leaving her unable to speak for at least the day. She came home and was lying abed in our room when the mail came. Ian had just come from picking Margaret up from school when the mail truck stopped at the house. The mailcarrier (or, fe-mail carrier) handed him the stack of mail, and he could see the big white envelope from SLC. He called out to whomever was in the house, and I'm afraid I let the excitement get the better of me, and snatched the envelope rather abruptly from him and took it in to Betsy, whose eyes got rather like saucers, try as she might to restrain herself. Poor thing, she couldn't talk. We waited until we got Bryn and Lily on the phone, and then she opened the envelope with Mom next to her, and the two of them burst into tears. Mom read (after first only seeing the "K" and initially thinking it said "Kansas") that Betsy has been called to serve in the


UKRAINE, KYIV (Kiev) MISSION !!!

and will enter the MTC on August 1st to learn Ukrainian.


I cried too.

o.k you all know where Betsy is going. She will give her 'talk' in our sacrament mtg. July 22nd and leaves for Provo July 27th to say her good byes to family and friends there. Our whole family are going through so many transitions it's exciting and scary at the same time. I will be in Provo June 26th to the 30th - to meet baby Jane - yipeeee!
