After weeks of anticipation, Crystal finally received her mission call. Yes, we are just as surprised and shocked as all of you! This definitely was the last place we could have imagined she would be going! We are so excited and happy that she will have this opportunity to serve the people in the jungles of northern Brazil. (Amazon, Rainforest, snakes, bugs).
Crystal's two roommates, Morgan & Steph, drove all the way from Logan to surprise her when she opened her call! They are the best friends!!
Here is some info on Manaus we found on Wikipedia....
