I think he will probably get a foreign mission just because, as you've said, he's been exposed to so much culture in his life and he might even go to China, which would be really neat! :DAmberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692897932694365285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-3748808906855627492009-10-15T07:48:10.101-07:002009-10-15T07:48:10.101-07:00That was a very interesting comment, Nene.

Chicken pot pie in the deep south is likely to still have the beak! Louisiana serves frog legs. Escargot is all over the place. And don't forget sweet breads! There is a big, mouth-watering country out there, and you never need a passport or gammaglobulin (sp?) shot to get it! I personally eat Japanese cuisine any chance I get, and never leave the states! On the other hand, with his dark hair and skin, he'll probably go to Sweden or Denmark....Mr. Giggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641950854577035374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-17304886358717475402009-10-14T22:16:12.202-07:002009-10-14T22:16:12.202-07:00You opened another world of view for me.

He gets a deferrment from the college to serve a mission for two years. Young men must be at least 19 years old to serve. Young women must be 21 years old. I served a mission, as did my husband. We both served in Taiwan. I served in the North, and he served in the South.Delirioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564398770468606675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-19342595687367910932009-10-14T19:57:48.948-07:002009-10-14T19:57:48.948-07:00Question: Is your son going to serve after his hig...Question: Is your son going to serve after his high school or college?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-20195599169699605332009-10-14T11:35:42.137-07:002009-10-14T11:35:42.137-07:00When Elder Bednar was here for our Stake Conferenc...When Elder Bednar was here for our Stake Conference, he had an "open session" in the Priesthood session Saturday afternoon. He let the men ask him any questions they wanted to. One person asked how the general authorities decided where to send each missionary-or was it really personalized. Elder Bednar said that the apostles go through and make each selection individually. Then the First Presidency looks at each call, once again individually, and decides if that is the right place for that missionary to go. If they don't feel right, they will change it. He said they spend hours doing that. So know that no matter where he goes, he truly is being sent to where the Lord wants him to go.Nenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13847303868378288229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-11986338809816021022009-10-14T10:11:44.965-07:002009-10-14T10:11:44.965-07:00It is a blessing to see children desire to serve. ...It is a blessing to see children desire to serve.

The other night "someone" didn't like dinner once again (he's a steak and potatoes type of guy), and someone else made the comment that he was sure to be sent to serve a mission where there was only exotic food. We'll see :)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09624351403333754381noreply@blogger.com
