Where in the World?


So this is it. Sam just submitted his mission papers.

For those of you who don't know what that means, click here to get the scoop on missionary service. Be sure to open the infographic to see missionary work by the numbers. It's kind of cool.


It will probably take two weeks or so before Sam receives his mission call. For fun, we're taking guesses. So get out your world map and let us know in the comments where you think Sam will serve for the next two years.

I'll start you off...

1. Fiji
2. Sweden

(I get two guesses because I'm his mom.)


This is so exciting! Sam's going to be a great missionary.

Time has sure flown by! I can't believe he's already going to be a missionary. How excited I am for him and for the blessings that will come to your family. I am going to guess New Zealand or California.

Good luck wherever you go, Sam.
