BRAZIL SAO PAULO SOUTH MISSION !!!!!!!

Matt leaves on March 24th and will report directly to the Brazil Missionary Training Center (which is right in Sao Paulo). We're all really happy! He can't wait- these are going to be the slowest 3 months!!!

The South Sao Paulo mission area (there are four separate missions in S. P.) is all along the coastline. And check out Sao Paulo's weather- 86 avg high in summer (which will be our winter here) and 70 avg high in the winter (low avg is 55). We may all move there when he's done!!!

Love you, Matthew! And so happy for you.

Oh, and congratulations to our guessing game winners: Josh Blackson, Xan Scales, and Anita Gitnick!! Prizes will be delivered soon. : )

We're having a little guessing game to celebrate Matt's upcoming mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His application papers have been sent and we should find out where he will be going to serve his mission in about 2 or 3 weeks!

Click on the comment button to post your mission location guess. (if you need help, see the link for a list of possibilities)- Only one per person, please-and don't forget your name. And so we're not excluding any of our computer unsavvy friends (like my parents) who have no idea what a blog contest is, you can add their guesses with their name included. (Maybe by the time Matt gets back, they will have come out from under that rock and be ready to start their own blog- er, to blog about living under a rock???).

The person that guesses the closest in distance or the actual mission area will get an amazing prize -like a pack of red licorice (unless we have more than 3 winners, which in that case, you might get a stick of gum- hey, paying for a mission ain't cheap) AND you'll get our undying admiration for your future telling skills. ; )

AS SOON as we get the "mission call" location in the mail we will post it here.

So where do YOU think he will go????
