Raymond Fowler received his envelope for his mission call, but waited to open it with friends and family. We got things ready in the kitchen and then met in the Relief Society room to open the envelope. A nine-hour difference (California and Philippines) allowed a social media connection and then our young future missionary opened his envelope hoping it was a call to the Philippines.
He was not disappointed, tears, hugs to parents, the 45 attending moved also. His father served there and corresponded after his mission with his mother who grew up there. Raymond will be a great missionary to the land of family. He's visited before to meet his grandmother in the Philippines.
Tom Fowler has a book on buying and selling sport boats of medium size; Medy Fowler, Raymond's mother, has a book of meeting the Savior: "Home and Back Again: My Journey Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death" Home and Back Again
