has been called to serve in the Puerto Rico San Juan West Mission
(Spanish Speaking). Matthew will participate in a phased training MTC experience -- which means he will spend approximately three weeks at the Provo MTC then travel to the Dominican Republic MTC, where he will receive an additional six weeks of training. His MTC report date is May 20, 2009!
We are so proud of Matthew and know he will make a GREAT missionary! He has such a fun-loving spirit that we will miss dearly -- but are grateful he will be able to share the gospel with those in Puerto Rico!
Walking in the door after what seemed like the LONGEST drive home from Rexburg at 10:45 p.m.!Where's my call??
Oh the suspense -- I can hardly stand it!!!
We were trying to get Jason (who was in Boise) and Andrea (who was in England) on the phone! The phone somehow hung up on each of them once before we finally got them on speaker phone.
OH Yeah! Puerto Rico San Juan West Mission!!!
Spanish Speaking -- YIPPEE!!
Now where exactly is Puerto Rico . . . to help you here is a map!
As far as we can tell -- Matthew's mission is a fairly new mission. They split the Puerto Rico San Juan mission into the Puerto Rico San Juan West & East missions. The West mission will take in the islands of Aruba, the Netherland Antilles, and parts of Puerto Rico.None of us even came close to guessing where Matthew was going to go! I think most of us thought he would go Spanish speaking but to the CARIBBEAN -- I don't think that even crossed our minds!!
ANYONE WANNA GO ON A CRUISE IN A FEW MONTHS???
What's a missionary post without a couple then and now photos?!
CONGRATULATIONS -- Elder Matthew Ward!!!
