"Where's He Going?" Party

So tonight we had dinner at my mom and dad's house. They have a big empty room downstairs where we are able to set up tables and chairs enough to fit all of us. We usually have dinner on Fast Sunday, but since last Sunday was the Superbowl, we changed it to today. And since Dylan just submitted his papers, I wanted everyone to decide where they thought Dylan would go on his mission.

My parents found this world map and we stuck it to a presentation board. Everyone put their initials on a push pin and stuck it in the Board. Here is Kolar guessing where he thought.

And a picture of my cute sister taking a picture of me. Usually I forget my camera and have to rely on her, but I remembered today. And most of the time she is not in pictures because she is always taking them.

Then after we all guessed, we stuck pins in for everyone who took a guess from Facebook. Here is the final product with the future missionary.

Wow, lots of guesses, huh? Can't wait until he gets his official call. The one thing I know is that not a one of us knows where he is going. The only one that knows is the Lord. And I know that his call will be from him. Now we wait for a couple of weeks. Stay tuned!
