I'm an ELDER?????

 Several weeks after I received my call a manila envelope came in the mail.  When my mom first picked up the mail she sent a picture message of the Iowa Des Moines Mission address in the left corner, and I was way excited!  Well, that excitement was short lived because moments later I received the next picture message from my mom which happened to be a picture of who the letter was addressed to. . .

Elder Hannah Call.  Elder Hannah Call. Elder Hannah Call. Elder Hannah Call.

To make matters even better the letter that my mission president signed with his name is also addressed to ELDER HANNAH CALL. 

Now I wouldn't have been so shocked if my first name was Jordan, or Taylor, or any other name that is used for both male and female names, but Hannah!  Have you ever heard of a boy named Hannah???   Me either! At first I didn't know what to do, do I call the mission home and let them know what happened or do I laugh about it and have fun with the circumstance?  Well I chose not to call the mission home, but I did have fun with "Elder Hannah Call"  as I wrote back to the mission home telling about myself.  The following is part of the letter I wrote back:  "Since my package from you came addressed to "Elder Hannah Call" you must have known that I grew up with all guys.  I have two older brothers, two younger brothers, no sisters, and most of my cousins are guys.  I can hold my own with the guys, so I guess as longs as I am considered "Elder Hannah Call" then I am eligible to have another Elder as my companion (we just won't send pictures to President Monson).  No but really, everyone got a good laugh about "Elder Hannah Call" and just so you aren't disappointed when I show up I'll let you in on a little secret . . . I'm a "Sister Hannah Call."     

It was only a matter of days from the time I sent the letter back to the mission office that I received the following letter.

Well I'm glad everyone is now on the same page and we can all agree that I am in fact a Sister Hannah Call!
