We interrupt this broadcast...

Some exciting news in the life of Julia Bright Ostergar.  She received her mission call on Friday, August 28th, 2015,  She was called to the Louisiana, Baton Rouge Mission and reports to the MTC in November.

Golden brought in the mail that day and woke up Bright who was taking a nap.  Rae was there too.
They were too excited to wait for their parents and opened the call right away.

She will be a wonderful missionary.
