Becoming a Missionary

My beloved brethren, you and I, today and always, are to bless all peoples in all the nations of the earth. You and I, today and always, are to bear witness of Jesus Christ and declare the message of the Restoration. You and I, today and always, are to invite all to receive the ordinances of salvation. Proclaiming the gospel is not a part-time priesthood obligation. It is not simply an activity in which we engage for a limited time or an assignment we must complete as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Rather, missionary work is a manifestation of our spiritual identity and heritage. We were foreordained in the premortal existence and born into mortality to fulfill the covenant and promise God made to Abraham. We are here upon the earth at this time to magnify the priesthood and to preach the gospel. That is who we are, and that is why we are here--today and always.

on it's way

While I've been doing this...
The first presidency has been working on my call.  My leaders have let me know that the call has officially been SENT!  Now, we just have to wait for it to ARRIVE!  We're hoping it will be here by this Wednesday.  Come on now, submit those guesses.

Papers

I sent in my mission papers August 3, 2010.  Now, I'm waiting for my call. 
Where do you think I'll be asked to serve?
