Katie has always been very interested, no obsessed, no psycho about Brazil. In college she hung out with the Brazilian crowd. She has a difficult time learning foreign languages, but studied and pushed herself to learn Porteguese. It was a goal of hers a few years back to save up enough money to take a trip to Brazil, since she has always loved the people, culture, language and everything about Brazil.
So when it came time for Katie to prepare for a mission everyone thought it would be very cool if she was called to serve in Brazil. But very unlikely she would be called to serve in a mission that she has obsessed about for years. So many things happened in the process of getting Katie ready to serve. One thing was how long she waited to get her call. She sent her paper work in, it was approved, but still no call. Katie was assured that she would recieve a call and that she just needed to be patient. At times Katie would get anxious about the process and worry about one hang up or another. Then she'd pray, and she'd feel peace that all was going to work out. Even when others around her were a bit concerned, she was not. She had the spirit of peace and comfort with her.
This morning, she recieved the answer to her prayers and recieved her mission call. She will be serving the people of Brazil Rio de Janeiro Mission. She will even enter the Brazilian MTC on Aug. 26th. I am overcome with happiness for Katie and all she has done to get to this point. Now she'll need the prayers more than ever to get her to Aug. 26th! We love you Katie!
