Brooklyn opened her mission call a couple days ago and I've been meaning to post about it but better late than never. Brooklyn opened her call and will be serving in the Bacolod Philippines Mission and will be speaking Tagolog. She leaves 3 days after her birthday on January 14th. Lets just say everyone was shocked when she read the Philippines, and I think we are all still a little shocked. Her mission area is a couple different little islands and 2 bigger ones, so she'll be island hopping during her mission. Her missions main city of Bacolod means the city of smiles, which is so perfect for her. Brooklyn is going to be a better missionary than I ever thought about being and I'm so excited for her and proud of her. She is definitely going to be missed. I've shed a tear already.....(I blame it on the pregnancy hormones lol) and my mom has the days counted down, I think we're at 72 now. Anyway here are some pictures that I found real quick of what it'll look like and the map of where she's going.

I can't tell if I'm more excited for Brooklyn or more jealous of her!! Oh the mission was too short!! So live it up Spout!! Just remember: You'll leave us cry'n in 2009, but you'll come home to Ben, in 2010! Hahaha
My parents just got back from there!
Tell her to enjoy, it will be cultural shock, the church is still very new there (irreverent) and to be prepared for the feminine hygene in a whole new way....a ditch could very well be her bathroom while proselyting...3rd world country for sure. good luck!
Congratulations Brooklyn! This is an awesome thing your doing. Best wishes to you on your mission. You'll do great!
