On Thursday I received my mission call to serve in Curitiba, Brazil. I am very excited to go, but I still have 4 months :/ I am going to learn to speak portuguese, which is pretty crazy.
For some reason Brazil was not one of my guesses. I don’t know why because many people go there, but it just never crossed my mind as a place I would go. I have started to read articles and stories about Curitiba and have realized how it is the perfect place for me.
There are a couple things I am especially excited about: #1 the sport EVERYone plays is soccer, which I enjoy very much. I hate basketball so I didn’t want to go somewhere where thats all they play. #2 There is a city in my mission boundary called Banana, I really want to go visit it #3 I wanted to have the experience of teaching the gospel in a foreign country, and my wish came true!!

          Well yesterday was a pretty big day for me.. I finally turned in my papers! It took me longer than expected, but I am excited to be done. I will wait about two weeks until I get my call, I will keep you all posted. I have been very busy ever since I cam home, pulling 40+ hour weeks at work. I got my job back at my local Albertons in the Meat Dept. It’s really fun!          If you would like to guess where I am going (be serious please..) then leave a comment. The winner gets 20 bucks!! hey thats a pretty good deal.. but it has to be the exact country… no africa or southern hemisphere junk. MY guess is South Africa.  My best friend Ryan Thompson got called to Fortaleza Brazil yesterday, and one of my other friends Dan Holiday got called to the Ecuador/Galapagos Islands mission! Pretty sweet…
