Steve Mission Call

Wednesday, June 4th, we all anxiously woke up early, and drove to the Pitchers house waiting to see what news we would hear.... Linda and Steve went and tracked down the mail man to try and get our mail and hour or two earlier then normal with no success....


Around 10:30 the mail arrived!!! But it wasnt there! With a little disapointment, we went about our day as usual wondering if we would see it tomorrow.
Thursday, June 5th- we recieved a call at 9:30 a.m. telling us to hurry hurry as fast as we could... it came!!!!!
With so much curiousity, excitment, some sadness, and relief- we all sat around awaiting everyones arrival- while Steve anxiously and nervously waited with that big white envelope waiting in his hands.


The room got quite, all eyes on Steve. Rip, tear, pull.... "Dear Brother Pitcher"....You could cut the intensity with a knife...and with a sigh, we heard you have been called to serve in the Asuncion Paraguay mission!!!



It was such an experience that I'm so lucky to have had. We are so proud of Steve for everything that he has become and know he will be an awesome missionary! CONGRATULATIONS STEVE- YOU ROCK!!!
