The backstory on this prospective missionary....

Sadie has been excited about being a missionary since she was about 13.  When the age change came that allowed girls to serve at age 19, instead of having to wait till they were 21, our whole perspective changed.  A mission became THE plan, not the backup plan- waiting to see what life had brought by that age and then decide.  Since a mission call is assigned, she just started hoping (and maybe praying) that her call would be to a foreign mission.  She prepared and we did all the paperwork and prep-work and as soon as she could, 120 days from her availability date, she submitted her papers.  With the new electronic delivery of mission calls, we were glad we wouldn't have 2-3 weeks of waiting for a big white envelope packet in the mail.  So she watched her email and 9 days later, it came.

This is the picture she submitted with her missionary application
