Ed and Lorie's Mission Call
Spencer's parents have been called to serve as the mission presidents in the Guatemala City North mission. We are thrilled for them. They told us about the call over Thanksgiving and we have been patiently (ok, not so patiently) waiting to hear where they were headed. They report to the MTC in Provo on June 22 through the 26 and then they will arrive in Guatemala on July 1, 2011.
Guatemala is on the isthmus that connects Mexico to South America. We are happy it is not farther south. Flights to Guatemala from Texas (where Spencer's brother lives and where we hope to go to grad school) are only around $200 a person. We may get to visit Ed and Lorie more than once!
Here are some stats about Guatemala from the church website. They are from 2001 but I couldn't find any updated information.
