Up to the Mountains he goes to open his call from the Lord. We could hardly wait to find out where he was going while he was up there. It seemed like forever. I told Benson that he was probably reading the entire packet before he comes back down. He did read his scriptures and then hike to a nice little spot and sat on a rock while he opened it. The picture above is a picture of where he will be serving (it is a little ironic that he was in the mountains when he opened his call and he is going to a mountainous area). Can you guess where? You may say that looks just like Utah. I guessed Boise, Idaho and I was the closest. It is the state directly to the east of Utah.
Colorado, Colorado Springs Mission
Spencer will be leaving May 13th
All the reasons we are excited he is going to Colorado:
1- He will be oh so close, but yet so far away
2- He will be used to the high altitude
3- My care packages will probably get there intact
4- He won't have to get used to any weather changes
5- He will be able to baptize all those wealthy stars who have homes there
6- When we go pick him up will be able to go skiing
7-The initials of his mission Colorado, Colorado Springs are the same initials as his name backwards Spencer Charles Craft
8- Last but not least, we know without any doubt that is where the Lord needs Spencer at this time
Spencer is more than ready to go and will be such a great missionary. We love him so much and are proud of the life he has lived thus far. Colorado Springs is a big city. There will be so much to do in only two short years.

Yep we are sooooo excited!!!!
Yeah Spencer! Colorado is a great place. Just ask the Bairds. They loved living there. Also, you'll have lots more teaching time not having to learn a language since it takes about a years to really get good enough at a language to teach well. Two of my brothers served missions in the states and they LOVED it! You'll be a fantastic missionary Spencer.
That's so great!! Congrats to Spencer! He will be such a great missionary. I've heard great things about Colorado. Good luck to you too!
Congratulations on Spencer's mission call! That is great!
