The official mission call for Megan came on the week of April 15. On the evening where we surprised my Mom with a birthday call, Megan surprised all of us with her mission call, announcing that she was officially called to the Taiwan Taichung Mission. Everyone, especially Megan, was super excited for her mission. On August 30, she was set apart as a full-time missionary by President Nathan Sheets at the Potomac Chapel.
On September 6, she entered the virtual MTC (Missionary Training Center), engaging in all of her missionary training at home.
The Branch organized a special farewell fireside for he and for Elder Richard Huang (called to the California Arcadia Chinese speaking Mission) on October 24. During fireside, slideshows about each missionary in their youth and videos from two families were shown. Several teachers and leaders spoke to and for the two missionaries. In addition, their mothers and the Branch President spoke. Finally, the two missionaries said a few words in Chinese about their feelings in serving a mission.
On the following day, Sister Tsai delivered her farewell Sacrament Meeting talk. Sister Tsai was able to go to the temple for herself for the first time on Halloween. On November 3, she left the MTC for her temporary mission in the Utah Layton Mission while she is awaiting a visa to Taiwan.

We are so grateful that Megan has chosen to serve a mission, following in the footsteps of her parents and siblings. But more important, we are grateful for her preparation and commitment to serving God throughout this next year and a half.
