Crae's mission call layed around at home for a whole week and a half why we were on the East Coast. It was nerve-racking for both my family and Crae. At one point my mom just wanted to pry it open and call Crae and tell him where he is going but, we all know that is not how it works. So, that being said, poor Crae knew for a whole week that his call was waiting for him at home and we were far away on the East Coast!
The Sunday came. It was time for Crae Chandler Kleinlein to open his mission call. The first brother of the Kleinlein kids to go on a mission. This was senseless yet so comforting. The family stacked in the house, loud, anxious, and a bit teary eyed. They were all there to support Crae. Everybody got a pin with tape that had their name on it; they used that to pin where they predicted my brother would go. It was crazy to see how many areas allow missionaries to serve!
Here it is; we're on the phone with Aunt Natalie and Craes’ WestPoint host family, the Gerbers.
At this point he starts to read and tears fall down everybody’s face.
Elder Crae Kleinlein has been called to serve in the Philippines, San Pablo Mission. Tagalog speaking. He reports September 28th 2011.
