My mission call

[BUFFLURP]

well as you all know, I am a "mormon", and you also all know that we are notorious for our missionaries.

anyways, i got my mission call yesterday, i have been called to serve in Osorno, Chile. It is the southernmost mission in the world, very close to antarctica. The mission covers from osorno, to the straight of magellan. I will be learning the castillano dialect of spanish, and will serve for a period of 24 months. I leave on April 5th to the missionary training center here in Provo, Utah (on the BYU campus).

I am excited to share my faith and testimony of Jesus Christ as our saviour to the Chilean people.

just thought i would share.

Wow...I have never even heard of that place. My brother went to Bogota, Colombia for 1.5 years on a mission. He went not knowing a word of spanish and now he speaks like a native. Spanish isn't too hard to learn if my brother can do it so easily!

i took 4 years of spanish in high school. I can speak it fairly well. enough to get my way around if i needed, or chat on a message bord like this. I will come back speaking like a native. The cool thing about it is nobody speaks english except for the missionaries down there. I will most likely forget how to speak english properly. Ill come back sounding like a mexican immigrant.

wait you said your bro went on a mission? are you LDS? or like Jehovah's witness or something? i dont know of other religions that even have organized missionary programs.

Weird... I thought all Christian faiths had mission programs...We don't really have a denomination actually.....Just The Bible. My brother is way, way, way more into it than I am....I still approve though.
