I Bought
--A map of the United States
--A map of the World
--A 10 dollar Cold Stone Gift Card
--Orange Sticker Dots
And then I told everyone to guess 1 foreign place, and 1 stateside place! The winner (whoever guessed correctly) or I (if no one guessed correctly) would win the gift card! It was SO much fun to see where everyone thought I was going to go!

M.A.S.H.
So...I have a slight confession to make. I really didn't want to make a guess myself. I didn't want to think so much about it and then be disappointed when I didn't go to where I thought I would. So here's what I did instead...
I printed out a list of EVERY MISSION and played a giant game of M.A.S.H.. You know, the game that you used to play when you were a teenage girl where you would write down boys, jobs, number of children, etc, and then pick a random number and go through, crossing out the results until their was only one left in each section. And then that was your "future life". I did that!
I only had two sections, FOREIGN MISSIONS, and STATESIDE MISSIONS.
It took FOREVER!! But it was so much fun!
MY RESULTS? Salt Lake City South and Nigeria! Those would of never in a million years be my guesses for myself!
So once everyone had guessed, it was time to open the call!!
