MISSION!!

To All Who Have Been So Concerned:

Hey everyone, this is Tony, and I've got some pretty exciting news, that most of you should have already heard. But if you haven't, here it is: My mission papers are in!! Soon enough, I'll be serving in God knows where (no, seriously, only He knows..), preaching the Word of God. Pretty cool, huh? I've been telling people my call should come within 2-3 weeks, but I'm guessing it might come a bit sooner, maybe even this wednesday.

So, a lot of people tell me how much they are excited for me. But when they ask if I'm excited myself, I can't really say that I am. Even though it's certainly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will undoubtedly be one of the biggest influential impacts on my life, I'm just not excited to go. I'm just ready. It's a job really. One of the most important jobs I will ever be responsible for, but a job nonetheless. And so, no, I am not excited for this job, but I am certainly ready for it. But in the meantime, I'll just have to make sure I do what I can to prepare for it.

So, I've told you what you need to know, now it's your turn. Sarah and Julie have already given me the pleasure of guessing where I will get sent. Now for the rest of you, start commenting on the blog your predictions for where I will get sent. And make sure you do it quick, before my call comes in the mail!

Julie guessed Chile. Sarah guessed Spain, which by the way has become a favorite so far.. 3 people have guessed spain, with my roommate even predicting Barcelona

Hmmm...I bet it's Florida, although you should pray for Texas!

I'm guessing Estonia, but just because everyone else has already taken most of South America.
Good luck, Tony!
