You Are Hereby Called to Serve...
Dec. 13th, 2007 09:51 amIn the Florida Jacksonville Mission!!!
Whew, there it is, my mission call. I'm going to Florida (and the extreme southern part of Georgia). I leave for the Provo Missionary Training Center on February 13. I'll be there, I think six weeks (I'm really not sure how long I spend there) and then I'll leave for Florida from the MTC.

adjie1026 guessed somewhere warm, but I forgot to write down that my mom had also guessed Florida. It was while we were discussing missionary clothes shopping, but she didn't want to get anything yet because (and I quote) "We'll get you a bunch of sweaters and stuff and then you'll get called to somewhere like Florida." (hee hee)
As another side note: my cousin actually went to Florida Fort Lauderdale on his mission. And since I'm only the second grandchild on my mom's side of the family to go on a mission, this might be a trend (you hear that other cousins? The next one to go'll get sent to Miami or something. Now that I've said that, they'll go to Alaska ^_^)
Oh, and the thing about the postage? My mission prep teacher last year had a theory, which sort of still holds true: If your postage on the mission call envelope is around $1.35 and higher, that means your going foreign. If it's $1.10-$1.17 and thereabouts, it's stateside. There were a few anomalies in that class: someone had postage that was $1.24 and they went to Canada and someone actually did have a $1.30 that went to Florida. I don't know why the postage works like that, but it does.
Well, this'll definitely be a new experience. The only thing I know about Jacksonville is the Jacksonville Jaguars. My little sister wondered if I was anywhere near Disney World, though. I told her no, though Gainsville's (Florida Gators, anyone?) in the mission too *waves to Coach Urban Meyer*
Florida here I come!
