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????

  1. I really think you should get a state side choice and a overseas choice. However....


    Albany, New York (Upstate NY Mission)

    Julie Harris says Ukraine (sorry, Susan, I know that's really far away and really cold, but it's so unlike me to be right).

  8. Because his 2 cousins are in the South, I think he will go somewhere in South America ... Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina. Do I have to choose? Okay Paraguay, and that's my final answer... Peggy Morley
