My kid is going on a mission after a couple years of college. They are away at a leadership spring break trip and will be back tonight. The call arrived today in grandparent's mail. My kid is away at school by closer to them than us.
They are going to drive the call to my child and then we will all have a family opening thing via facetime.
Luckily my children aren't big into Mormon show and tell productions. Probably my not supporting them in anything but activities and musical numbers played a part. But we are reserved people more than we aren't.
I'm glad. Last thing I wanted was an extended family situation where I stick out like a sore thumb because it is church related. And I'm super conflicted with the whole thing.
I'm terribly depressed they are going to sell LDS to the world. I'm hoping they will have their horizon's broadened. And interestingly my wife is not really excited. She was a missionary and yet she is terrified for our child.
She and my youngest will only be going to SM tomorrow so they can come home for the big opening. Really I'm afraid for my child as well.
