{for the LDS church}
this week the big white envelope is coming in the mail and we are all agog.
{yep, simply, agog.}
there will be 2 give-aways: 1 for the best guess, and 1 drawing just cause we feel like it. {give-away gifts are sponsored by peg.}
1} winner of the best guess will receive:
a $20 itunes card and little {secret} gift
- you must include:
- the location {can be whole country or state},
- the language you think she will speak,
- and the date you think she’ll leave. {her availability date is september 19th.}
- you can make two complete guesses {but must be in 2 separate posts.}
2} winner of the drawing will recieve:
a $10 itunes card and a big fat juicy smile…
- drawing will be pulled from all those who comment {courtesy of random.org}. whether there is a guess or not. {so you can make 2 guesses + 1 comment and have 3 entries, or just the 1 comment = 1 entry…etc.}
*note: give-away entries will be open until the call arrives,
which could be as soon as thursday, so hurry hurry!!
Hahaha! I'll guess…<br /><br />Temple Square, Salt Lake City<br />(or another Visitor's Center site)<br />English<br />Oct. 5th 2011<br /><br />Good luck to her! I loved my mission, and I hope she does too!<br /><br />-Darci
I'm going with Japan Nagoya Mission on September 28th. I like to think that they like to send pretty blonde girls there. 🙂
Whoops- if she went to Japan she'll speak Japanese…but maybe a little portugese too.<br />If I had to make a second guess, I'd say Boston MA, English speaking on Oct 5. <br />YAY for Maddie, that is SO exciting. I'm sure she is going to make one fantastic missionary and it will be a wonderful experience, I know it was for me.
i was going to guess temple square too but someone already said that. I'm gonna guess england, english speaking, and leaving oct 3rd
I'm voting New York Spanish speaking mission 🙂 And She's gonna leave…September 14!<br /><br />~Jacque Weech
I am guessing Brasil (no particular mission). Portuguese speaking and leaving on October 19th!<br /><br />Good Luck Maddie!
Seattle Washington! Pretty random but i just have a feeling. 🙂
I realized that no particular mission kinda sounded funny, I just meant anywhere in Brasil. If I had to make a 2nd guess I'd say that she is going to New York.
My guess is St petersburg, Russia. Speaking Russian of course. Leaving October 4th
That is so awesome that she is going on a mission! I'm rooting for the Brazil Campinas mission, Portuguese speaking, and reporting September 28th!
My first guess: North Carolina, English speaking. Leaving October 12th.
Second guess: Argentina, Spanish speaking, leaving September 27.
And congrats, Maddi, on getting your call soon! 🙂
Washington (state), English, September 21<br /><br />ish.
Austria<br />German<br />Sept 28th
I'm thinking that Maddi is going to be leaving August 10th. She will go to Brazil speaking Portuguese . 🙂 I'm almost positive. haha<br />-Lyndsie Walker

Courtney McAferty: Louisiana, Baton Rouge. I also had no idea about this. And are we really allowed to guess more than one place? Because that seems like cheating. But since everyone else is doing it, I'll also guess Idaho.
Thanks for all of the guesses everyone! I'm so excited to hear all of the possibilities! Thanks also Meg's for doing this. So so fun! <br /><br />P.S. I don't know if my posting them here counts…but I figured it would be fun to have more of the guesses all in one place. :)<br /><br />P.P.S.

How exciting Maddi! I'll guess Switzerland, french speaking reporting September 28th 🙂 I entered the MTC exactly 9 years ago…

Alright. After much deliberation, here are my two guesses:<br />1) New York Rochester (yes, I know that's where Chelsea went), English-speaking, leaving Sept. 28.
2) Spain Barcelona, Spanish-speaking, leaving Oct. 19th (so you can see Elder Webb first, of course!) 🙂
