Where in the World?! **Blog Candy**



My daughter has just put in all her paper work to serve as a missionary for our church. In approximately two weeks she will receive the call of where she will be serving. It could be 200 miles away or 2,000 miles away. Pretty much anywhere in the world that allows proselyting. The middle east and communist countries are about the only places she could not be called. It is an exciting time for her. I am so proud of her decision to take off 18 months of her life and dedicate her whole self to serving the Lord. I am a convert to our religion and I can not even describe the peace and joy I have found. To think that she can be an instrument in the Lord's hands to perhaps bring this joy and peace into someone else's life is such a happy thought. Wherever she serves, the love and goodness she radiates will be a force for so much good. So as a fun celebration, of sorts, I would love to share the joy our family is feeling with you. I would love to hear your guesses on where she will be called to serve. Just leave a comment on this post as to what your guess is and the person who is closest will receive the blog candy. You have about a week and a half to two weeks to leave your comment. The blog candy package is: Several sheets of patterned paper, an American Crafts modern album, We R Memory Keepers die cut journal pad, Sassafras Lass Borderline Stamps, Pink Paislee enchanting petals, Scenic Route chipboard, Kitchen Sink Stamps, Bo Bunny my Edgy album, Creative Imaginations book and EK Success Art Blanche book. I look forward to your guesses. In case of a tie, I will randomly draw a name out of a hat. Thank you for sharing this celebration in the life of my daughter with us!! Hugs, Cheryl
