Dad set up a conference call with Cory, both the Grandparents, Linds, and us so that we could all be together when Cory opened his mission call letter. Cory called us earlier that morning to tell us that he received his letter, but he couldn't open it until 8 pm that night, after his class. Then later that day, Cory texted to tell us that we now had to wait until 9:10 pm, when Lindise's class was over. So at 10:10 pm our time, Cory called the conference line and ...all we heard was screaming in the back ground! I'm not sure how many people Cory had crammed in his apartment, for the big opening of the letter, but it was noisy! So Cory ripped open the envelope and read ....Antofagasta, Chile Mission, and he was to report to the MTC in Provo on May 5th. You could hear in his voice that he was tearing up a bit, but mostly you just hear all the yelling and screaming in the background! Not sure why, but Lindsie never did call into the conference call. After the conference call, Cory went over to Lindsie's to see why she missed the call. Linds was asleep, I think that she thought she had already missed the conference call. Cory is going to Chile, it was a great night for all of us!
Below is a video link posted on Facebook, of Cory opening his mission papers.
