Llamados a Servir (Called to Serve)

Yesterday Ti sent me a text to notify us that Po received his mission call in the mail! Later that night, thanks to modern technology, we were able to listen in as he opened his letter. Before he read his destination aloud, we went around the room and gave our guesses of where he would be called to serve. Our house guessed Tonga... of course :) While we were on Skype with Jr & Tina, Ti Tonga was FaceTiming on his phone from Arizona to listen in as well. It was hard to contain the excitement and sit quietly as he began to read his call. Then it happened. We heard that he would be serving in Chihuahua Mexico and the jumping and screaming began. The response in the room was priceless. We cheered along with our family in Salt Lake as we celebrated the journey that Po has started.
I can't explain how amazing it has been to see this kid grow up. To be honest, I didn't know a whole lot about Po til just recently. Although me and Ti have been married for 10 years now, me and Po have never really bonded. I mean we talked of course, but I don't think I got to know the real Po until he moved here to Vegas. He is pretty mellow and a "go with the flow" kind of guy. He reminds me a lot of Ti Tonga. Pretty reserved, so I just let him keep to himself. He moved in with us last year and my kids grew so attached to him. This kid has a heart of gold. He is so accepting and forgiving. I will never be able to repay him for all that he has done for my little family. Not sure if he knows how much his help with the kids meant to me. It has been a wonderful thing to see him grow and to make the decision to serve the Lord. We are extremely proud of him and have faith that he will go forward and bless the lives of many in Chihuahua. Congratulations Elder Fangupo. We love you!
