Landon's Mission Call

Being at BYU was the best influence for Landon spiritually. He was around good kids, with good values and goals. He was able to decide then that he did want to go on a mission, and started working towards that goal. It was with great anticipation and elation that he got his call February 2009. Several of his friends gathered at his apartment to watch him open it, then our family joined in on a conference call. Tanya even had her entire class pick a spot on the world map, covering every inch; all waiting anxiously to hear where he'd been called to. It was hard keeping all of quite, but as Landon read the words he started to break down and cry, which made us all tear up. Drum roll please.....Elder Matthew Landon Ball was called to the Mexico, Culican mission. He reports the the MTC June 17, 2009.
