He is stil to meet with the stakepresident. The papers will be sent to ... Zürich I think it was and from there on to SL and they are papers so it will take some time.
He has always bene a VERY good boy... only one bad thing, he games too much...

Papers are sent. It will take a month or so to know where he is going....

I forgot he gets a bit rash from the sun... so probably he wont be going to south.

Let us know where he is going when you find out! Congrats! You should be proud of yourself for raising such a great son!

Thanks Prep I will...
Craz... that would be so cool... I also heard of a certain young apologist that is going around same time.
Now there was one Norwegean sent to Russia... I think my son may be next out. Everybody is teasing him about Finland... as he already can the language basics anyway, got them with mothersmilk.... but he really wishes for somewehere warmer. This IS really exciting .. where in the world God wishes him to serve...

He is willing to go anywhere!

That's awesome.
It's so important really that he's prepared for any call. A lot of guys get really discouraged because the expect a certain place, then they don't get it. But that's the perfect attitude. :-)

But I am sure there are things we can by for him already now... things that can be used in no matter where he goes. Any good ideas how to prepare him mentaly and scriptualy. We are reading the new misionarybook. Anything special they may need on a mision....

He will need at least a set of smaller quad version with a leather type carrying case that will survive for two-years. Perhaps a good back pack also could be included.

Beside what is already provided as advise, I would have him begin this day in living a missionary life. Preparation is better serve now than later.

Isnt it typical... he sent a paper to military with Bishop to ask if he can have his military service posponed 2 years. They did not send the papers but waited for the answer... then finally as the answer can ... it did not answer anything... anyway he is probably notto be called to forces any way so they sent finally the papers. Hmm maybe the

knows he is my son....

Anyway here, a picture of my missionary... I hope... We did not send this picture

Still waiting by the mailbox. Been some 4 weeks now... He did get his patriarchal blessing tuesday. I was so happy he wanted me there. He told me and the Patriarch, that I had deserved it!
