Da Pilapeens

Due to my pushy friend, COURTNEY... just kidding scourts.

I come bearing good news....

I opened my mission call Nov. 18 and have been called to the Philippines Olongapo mission!!! I go into the Provo MTC on Feb. 4.

I didn't post this earlier because I figured anyone that read my blog (approximately 2 people) already knew.

Sorry to whoever was physically or virtually present for the opening of my call-- thanks for waiting 24 hrs before I actually opened it... that was a little ridiculous.

Needless to say, I'm very excited/anxious/scared out of my mind, yet humbled, to be serving a full-time mission for my Savior. It's overwhelming to comprehend the amount of trust that has been placed in me and hopefully I do not fail him! :)


This is a map of my mission... as you can see I'm on the coast. I have to remember to take my bikini... jk mom! But I heard my area's kind of similar to Hawai'i, so I shouldn't complain.. I'll let you know how it REALLY is once I get there.



There's actually a place in my mission called Hundred Islands. It looks like this..

I'm convinced I will be serving close by this, but my dad and brother are pessimistic and keep telling me I will probably never get to see this. They're wrong. That water will be such a tease!!!! But I'm excited to stick out like a sore thumb and tower over every person in my sight.

Hey Jessie! Congrats! I had no idea---we're kinda isolated out here in Idaho, I guess. Philipines-huh? Way to go! Good luck! Lots of love, Kiki
