We went down to St George for Easter weekend to spend time with our family, but most of all to be there when Kyle opened his mission call. My mom received it on Wed and we were all coming down on Friday, she was going crazy, she wanted to open it for him, but luckily she didnt and we all got to be there for this special event in his life! 
Kyle with his "call"
All of us gave our guesses to where he would serve and as we were doing that, his friend asked what the postage on the envelope was, Kyle says $1.31 and they both blurt out "STATESIDE!"

Cute nephew Tyler

Girlfriend Carly and of course Kyle was there and the rest of the family! minus Brittney, Dan and Kate and Aunt Linda but dont worry they were on the phone!
With everyone gathered, Kyle starts...
