Kody was at the mailbox for three days straight and we were all relieved the day the large envelope finally came, but the wait wasn't over. Kim was having a rare golf day and we promised we would wait until he got home. Kody couldn't wait until the men were done golfing so he made a call and Kim was on the road. I think that was a long half of an hour for Koder.
We didn't even have time to get all the sisters on the phone so they could hear him read his letter, Karly and Kloe were home from school just before Kim got home. The minuet Kim walked in the house the envelope was opened.
Kody has been called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He has been assigned to labor in the Argentina Buenos Aires North Mission for 2 years. He is to report to the Provo Missionary Training Center the 10th of June.
It only took a few minuets for it to sink in and then Kod started texting and calling family and friends. He is very excited about his mission call. Like his older brother he has had the desire to serve a full-time mission since he was a little boy. He did the happy dance, gave out hugs and then he was off with the boys to celebrate. The mission call came the afternoon of Kyle's "P-day" and it was too late in the day for him to get the email, so Ky had to wait for a letter in the mail.
It will be an interesting month of June around the Porterfield home. Kody leaves and the next week Kyle gets home.

Congratulations Koder man! Mack and Hank's uncles are both setting a good example for them to follow. Mack will be 5!! I think when you get back and Hank will have reached the ripe old age of 3.
Way to go Kody! Your mission is going to be amazing. Its great to know we will both be serving at the same time. I should extend so we can serve longer together...but i dont think mom would like that to much. well man i love you and congrats!
