Harry Potter!!!

Jillian has been obsessed with Harry Potter from the beginning. One of the setbacks to going on a mission was that she might miss Harry Potter 7.2. She joked about it a lot and said that the only way she would be okay with missing it was if the Lord sent her to England. Well, she got her call on March 16 to the England London Mission! Can you believe that?! In her call letter it stated that she would report to the MTC in England on July 15--the very day Harry Potter came out. From that moment on she searched and searched to find some kind of early showing. After doing everything possible she finally came to the realization that she was not going to be able to see the movie before she left.

Then a miracle happened. One of her best friends Kelly Maddock, who is also obsessed with Harry Potter and who has been to all the midnight showings with her, gave her hope. She said that her dad had found an ad in City Weekly about a Harry Potter showing on Monday July 11. It was a contest and so Kelly entered it right away. A few days later she called Jillian up and asked if she wanted to go to see a movie with her on Monday... All of Jillian's dreams had come true! However, Kelly only received two vouchers for the movie, not the actual tickets. The tickets were given at Jordan Commons on a first come first serve basis. So, on the day of the movie Jillian arrived at Jordan Commons right when it opened at 10:00 am. She was the first in line and waited there until the movie started at 7:00. She was not going to take any chances. She and Kelly had fun hanging out at Jordan Commons all day together in their Harry Potter t-shirts. By the time the movie was over she had been at the movie theater for almost 12 hours! But it was definitely worth it!
