OK, I didn't really go nuts, but I did get a fun phone call while checking out at Belk today. It was an elder from Todd's mission office in Las Vegas. He was there getting ready to go to his first assignment. Well, being the overly organized mom that I am.....ha......I put off ordering his bike a bit too long and it wasn't at the mission office. So, the kind Elder Neilson called me to find out the details and location of Elder Cronin's bike. My first reaction was 'what's wrong'. After I got over fact that this call was only about his bike and not some other catastrophe, I realized I could hear Todd in the back ground just a little bit. OH MY!!! What a way to put a missionary mom into tears. I'm sure the store workers were wondering what was wrong with this crazy woman. At the end of the conversation, Todd and I were allowed to exchange messages, but we didn't get to speak directly to each other. It still made my day!!!!
So, I found out that he will be serving in Elko, NV. His companion is Elder McPheron. Elko is in the northeastern quadrant of the state. In fact, it's pretty much parallel with my sister and brother in law who live in North Ogden. I thought it interesting that Elder Cronin had to travel from Provo, to Salt Lake City, to Las Vegas, then 8 hours in a car back up to Elko. But, that is where he will start his missionary work. Hopefully we will hear from him tomorrow.
