Hunter has been doing all the right things! He decided to put in his papers for his mission and we were surprised we got his call on December 23 (we didn't think he would get it until after New Years due to the holidays!) We were shocked! New Zealand Hamilton Mission, leaving for Aukland MTC on April 9! It has been so fun learning about New Zealand and I wish I could go with him!
Hunter got ordained as an Elder on Dec 22...
Then got his call on Dec 23! Calls usually come on Tuesday, so we were shocked it came on Monday! We got carolers as we were waiting for people to gather to open his call..
Here is are the guesses friends and family made...
Ladd and our neighbor Malia got closest by guessing Australia! Ladd had been saying for months he thought he would go international but English speaking!
Here is a link to the video of his mission call
It was a whirlwind with Christmas, then our Cancun trip, but when we got back, Hunter went to the temple. Ladd and I, Jayme, Lee, and Brayden were all there to support him. It was a great night and Hunter is going to be a temple worker once a week until he leaves...
There were also quite a few things to do to get his visa going. We had to spend $500 to go to a "New Zealand approved" doctor in San Diego to get a basic physical done. Apparently the one he did at Kaiser for his mission papers wasn't good enough for New Zealand. But, there are quite a few New Zealand restaurant in San Diego, so we had a yummy lunch at a cute restaurant, "Raglans". So Hunter had his first taste of meat pies!
We walked along the beach while we were down there, and Hunter caught a crab which pinched him and left the pincher behind and scurried back to the water!
Anyways, we are so proud of Hunter and the Man he is becoming!
