Mission Papers handed in!

Weston Handed in his mission papers!
  The amazing part about it is... that the process of filling out papers and handing them in is usually quite lengthy! but he did it in less than 23 hours! no joke!  It has always been a desire of Weston to Serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS).  He has been working very hard to save up money so he could be able to pay for most of it on his own. 
The paperwork is done electronically now through the Internet.  Your bishop gives you a account number and you fill out everything online, then the bishop reviews it, then the Stake President reviews it, then clicks send and off to Salt Lake City, Utah where the church headquarters are to be processed and a call extended.  We should get his call in the mail from June 9th on.  It usually takes 2 weeks from submittal date.

The day Weston was submitting his paperwork, he did not have a photo to attach to his file, and so I told him to take a white sheet and hang it on the wall and have Zac take his picture, this is the result. 
Pretty good for a spur of the moment photo,
 but I think I will go professional when the "real" photos are taken.

Weston had an appointment to meet with the Stake President about receiving the Melchizedek Priesthood, and while he was there Weston's Bishop handed the Stake Pres Weston's mission paper files, so the stake president told Weston, well while your here, lets do your mission interview too!
Weston has waited so long to go, that I am really pleased that everything is moving so quickly for him.
