My sister Lauren left for her mission on the 20th. She was called to the Johannesburg South Africa mission, which was her dream mission (the Stake President asked her where she would choose if she could serve anywhere, and that was her top pick). But a month later, her call got switched to Tempe Arizona. Apparently South Africa is unfit for sister missionaries these days. Lauren had a great attitude about the whole thing, and handled it very well. I was pretty bummed for her, bummed because she lost her dream call and she started sortof dating a nice guy and I was remembering how hard missionary work was, and then I was also bummed for myself because I'm losing my sister for 18 months. But when we went to the MTC I got over it. I remembered that missions really are amazing and I'm happy she gets to do it.

She's coming to AZ!?! You'll have to come down here and we'll have to "accidentally" run into her :)
Noah is too dang cute!
Ben read this and agreed with the mission call change, S. Africa isn't the greatest place for white American girls. Your sis will be home before you know it, and you'll have to show Noah pictures everyday so he doesn't forget her!
That is the cutest outfit! Fun, fun, fun.
That's the CUTEST person Lauren will see in a tie in many months
(18, to be exact). Even if it is a fake tie. How can one family have 2 such sweet and lovely Sister Piepers... way down to their souls. Oh, I am such a glad momma and grandmomma.
