I'm going to serve an LDS mission in Tallahassee Florida, August 13, speaking spanish.

 

August 2010- Just got back! Mission was great. I ran a little, maybe a total of 25 miles the whole 2 years. haha.

We'll see when I hit the streets again.

Total Distance
6.00

Ran with the team until the state people turned around at AC. Coach, Austin, and I kept going and did the top of formaster run. It was hot but still fun and a good run. Probably averaged 7:30ish pace (I think my watch is broken again).

My mission call came today!!!!!

 I'm opening it at 9 tonight, so come over.

 

Florida Tallahassee Mission.

Spanish Speaking.

I report to the MTC August 13.

I am very excited! I will be serving as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints. It's something I have been looking forward to for a long time.

Hi Jeff,

I have heard that congratulations are in order. That is something else to receive your mission call before high school graduation. Anyway Jill told me about your call and that it is Spanish speaking. What an awesome call .. . . and a beautiful place of the world to serve. I am also a little envious of the opportunity to learn Spanish. I served with Elders who had learned a foreign language. When we were out knocking on doors and really bored a couple of them taught me the baptismal prayer in Spanish along with the first four articles of faith. Anyway congratulations again.

I will be there when you leave! And now I have another reason to learn spanish; so you and me and Derrik can all talk without anyone knowing what we're saying! Haha! Congrats Jeffie!
