Sunny Spain

Remember this boy? {my brother Jordan, for those of you who really don't}

well, soon he's going to look like this- missionary tag, 

B.O.M., tie, sombrero.... 

(okay, maybe no sombrero)

Because JORDAN JEFFREY RANDS just received his MISSION CALL to

MADRID, SPAIN!!!

Now, we all know that Jordan it the golden child. He always gets his way and my parents think that every stupid thing he does is just hilarious (the rest of us aren't bitter or anything). But the crazy thing is, Jordan has been saying for the last year that if he could choose anywhere to serve, IT WOULD BE SPAIN because he wants to continue learning Spanish, but he really wanted to go to Europe. Best of both worlds. 

Spoiled by mom. 

And God?

Seriously though, we could not be any happier for his call. We all just hoped that no matter where he was called that he would be happy and excited. Jordan is absolutely over the moon. No one even believed him at first when he told us! We didn't all open it together. Jord  had to do it his way- hike up a mountain and open it by himself. We didn't even know he had the letter! He said he couldn't believe it himself. He even had "happy tears!" I really don't think I have ever heard him so excited in his life. It doesn't hurt that his best friend is going to Spain too, three weeks before him, and they will be in the MTC together. Jordan is outta here on September 3rd, so we have a while to go, but we are so glad we get to spend the summer with him.

In the mean time, Tyler will have a fantastic time continuing to tell the world, 

"JORDAN IS GOING ON A MISSION TO SUNNY SPAIN!"

He was ecstatic.
