Antarctica would've been the first tip off for me...

Either something really really really close to home, or something really really really exotic (not antarctica exotic) would've been better.

This is not the first time this sort of thing has happened, it's just that now, we have the ability to record and upload it with our smartphones.

High school acquaintance of mine back in the 70's was dead set on going to Taiwan. He took two years of Mandarin at BYU, and had his father, a member of the 70, discreetly inquire as to the best week to send his papers in, since each week different missions are up for "reinforcements".

Anyway, his BYU roommates, one of whom was in my mission district and relayed this tale to me, got a hold of some church stationary and typed out a fake call to the "Cheyenne Wyoming" mission, even going so far as to fake Pres. Kimballs signature.

He called his father to give him the news. Dad already knew he was headed to Taiwan, so general confusion reigned until the next day when the real call came and the roommates fessed up.

I think it'd be funny to give somebody a fake call to the mission in which s/he lives: "You are hereby called to serve in the Utah Salt Lake City Mission."

What?! Why would the Brethren do that?! This has to be a mistake ... doesn't it??? :huh::unsure:

;) (I served in San Diego with a guy from Northern California. It would roughly have been the equivalent of me being called to serve in St. George ... I don't know if I could've handled something like that: send me to Siberia, but don't send me somewhere that close to home! ;))

Someone should make up a totally fake country with a totally fake langauge-as in You are going to the Ferebts Mission and speaking the Zwazi language!

Where is the appropriate decorum? Where is the solumn face of spiritual concern? Must the most important of events be treated with comedy and lightness of mind? :aggressive:

Three guesses as to where I stand on this behavior.

My son, having been born in Provo and having a ton (and I mean that literally) of relatives around Utah was sent to the Odgen mission. We thought since he had spent some time in Russia and had some french in school that he was likely to be sent to somewhere more exotic. He however loved it, especially the very limited tracting he had to do since they had so many referrals, etc. to deal with. His first Christmas he was in an area where three of his cousins lived and the Mission President told him to hang out with them for the holidays, which included the big extended family party which we attended that year....without telling him we were going to show up.

My friend from Cranbrook, BC just got her call to the Vancouver, BC mission...she lives 20 minutes outside of its boundaries. There was slight disappointment.

I agree though, Montreal will be a blast for this missionary.

Is she going to say um...you know.... to the leadership? I knew a missionary here years ago who was from Northern Utah and then moved to Pennsylvania to work and that is where he got his call from and he got called to the Ogden Mission so he got it changed!

he should have jokingly said, "if it's anything like last night then we will!"

So I guess two of them just had a preliminary interview with Good Morning America. Crazy how fast and far things spread with media today.

Not a clue, he said it was just a preliminary interview, so they don't really know anything beyond that.

No, because it is technically in a different mission. Plus, my neck of the woods is about a 10-12 hour drive from Vancouver. Even though we are in BC we are way closer to Calgary than we are Vancouver.

Okay, that is really, really good. Antarctica is just perfect.

Many are called but few are frozen. Antarctica would need missionaries with at least 5 languages so as to service the international scientific communities posted there.

Another bride, another June,

Another sunny honeymoon

Another season, another reason

For makin' whoopee

A lot of shoes, a lot of rice,

The groom is nervous,

He answers twice

It's really killing that he's so willing,

To make whoopee

Picture a little love nest,

Down where the roses cling

Picture that same sweet love nest,

Think what a year can bring

He's washing dishes and baby clothes,

He's so ambitious he even sews,

So don't forget folks, that's what you get, folks,

For makin' whoopee.

Another year, or maybe less

What's this I hear?

Well, can't you guess?

She feels neglected,

And he's suspected of makin' whoopee

She sits alone most every night, he doesn't phone her, he doesn't write

He says he's busy, but she says, "Is he?"

He's makin' whoopee

He doesn't make much money, only five thousand per,

And some judge who thinks he's funny says you pay six to her,

And he says, "Judge, suppose I fail?"

The judge says, "Budge right into jail",

You better keep her.

I think it's cheaper

Than makin' whoopee.

Than makin' whoopee

;)
