Receiving a call to serve

We received our mission call in the mail on Thursday, June 22, 2017.  We have been called to serve in the Adriatic North Mission, assigned to the Bosnia Welfare Country Office.  We are to report to the Provo MTC on January 1, 2018.

We were both very surprised, as we had been asked by the missionary department to request the country of Montenegro and report in September.  As soon as we submitted our call acceptance, the then mission president called and asked if we were able to come sooner than January.  We said that we were and he expressed his surprise at the country assignment as well.  He worked with the missionary department for nearly a week.  When he called back, he said he had been unable to change our assignment or reporting time.  For whatever reason, the brethren want/need us in Bosnia.  He said that he believed in inspiration and at this point, we needed to follow the brethren.  We agreed, as we had received our own confirmation that Bosnia is where we should serve.  We don't know why but are excited to find out!
