Andrea's Call

Finally . . . Sister Andrea Nicoll has been given a call from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to serve as a missionary in the Spain Malaga Mission. This was such a wonderful day! She was worried when it did not come in the mail yesturday, but everything was wonderful today when she discovered the letter in the mail. It had just begun to snow! We quickly made phone calls and got into the car to head to Andrea's aunt's house in Payson. Her grandparents and two aunts were there with her parents on the phone. It was great to see Andrea's reaction and her big smile! I are now preparing ourselves for her sudden outbursts of "SPAIN!!!" She's already done it several times today and we expect many more as time draws closer. She reports to the MTC on September 24th (her mother's birthday). She spends three weeks in the Provo MTC then spends six weeks in the Madrid MTC. We are all so excited for her!! This was a wonderful day!!

Stagehands have astonishing learning curves. It's not unusual for stage crews to have trucks full of unknown scenery arrive at a theatre on Monday, which we need to assemble and understand to open a show we've never seen before... on Tuesday night.

Most people, if confronted with such a task, would flatly say it was impossible.

Stagehands find ways to make it possible. We learn quickly, we draw upon years of experience, skills and training, and (all too often) we drink lots of coffee and work all night.

I've had one longstanding handicap in my career as a stagehand. I don't drink coffee.
