The MUST WATCH reaction when a Mormon sister missionary doesn't tell her mom she is going on a mission until her call is received!

One of the best moments in any LDS parent’s life is when they get to experience their son or daughter serving a mission.

And mom and dad’s emotions run the gamut during helping prepare mission papers, the period of awaiting the mission call (and especially the opening of the call itself), and the subsequent months of actual mission service.

The pride. The nerves. The anticipation. The “have I done enough to prepare them for this moment?” feeling.

Well . . .

What happens when parents are not aware their child is preparing to serve a mission?

It probably looks like something in these videos below.

That feeling when… I mean…

She’s been planning on going on a mission. She’s been telling me she’ll submit her papers in May and leave in August at the earliest. Turns out, she’s been working diligently to get it done AND keep it a surprise from her parents. And – like everything she sets her mind to- she did it. ????❤️❤️❤️❤️ ✉️? She’ll open it and we’ll find out her assignment at around 2:30 today, so if you’ve got a guess, hurry and share! #TheWad #SunriseSunset #mission #tfw #HisDay #lds
