It's not cool to be so bummed about where you are called to serve. He's upset about going to Montana and overjoyed to be going to the Philippines. Someone should tell him it's not meant to be a vacation. Maybe they should tell those who setup the prank as well. If you are going for the wrong reasons you should just stay home.
the unofficial but as close as we know is Oct. 28th :) He is way happy to be on his mission and he has a huge Filipino accent its funny when we talked to him on Easter
wow he looks like a great missionary!! :) i loved how it didnt click it was a fake mission call even after he read about his family playing a trick on him haha i wish we did that for my brother when he got his call a few months ago... when is his homecoming?
tagalog--the Philipine language!!! Pronounced tuh-gall-oh. l0l. i laughed when he sed it cus that how me and my friends sed it. I loved this prank, u did a gud job.
what a good sport! i hope you're having a great mission and that the Lord is blessing you with success in the work, as well as with good health and complete safety. let's hear about your mission when you get home. you're in my prayers!
Thank you for sharing this special moment, congratulations. I remember what it was like for me when got my call to the Australia Perth Mission in October 1982. Remember you are serving the Lord in the greatest work you could be doing in your young life. A scripture D&C 4:4, Jacob 5:71-72.
haha, if ever he'd get to be assigned in jaro, iloilo. i would remind him about this instance..haha can't believe he thought all the while that he's opening the real call..really funny!
Good luck. Their member retention rate is horrible.
A past mission president from the Philippines gave a speech at BYU where he said out of 49,000 baptisms, after two years there was only 1,000 active members.
Oh and avoid the girls who say, "love you long time"
Congratulations Mitch I don't know you but I wanted to tell you my brother served in that same mission and my husband went to the the Phililippines as well. Have a wonderful two years! And watch out for John the Baptist day! Rachel
Yeah, people are sometimes called close to home, a friend of mine got called in the next state over, in a city about 3 hours from here. But they wont go home or live at home while while on their mission.
I have a cuz. who has sertin medical prob. so he is going to go on a mission at the temple or humanitarian aid, so he can be at home just in case there is a medical emergancie and because he has autism :D
oh my gosh dude thats so aswome, my name is ammon, im from missouri, and i just recive my mission call, im am to serve in the philippines tacloban mission, which is not to far where you are heading, and i am speaking the laguage of the cebuano,and i leave september 10th, so idk, we could see each other there. but again yea that exciting, im way excited for it too. but congrets
This is a great video. Congratulations to this young man and his family. This prank is so cool that I may try to do the same to my own son.

i like this vid, i served a mission for the church but the mission president sent me back home when i only had 6 months left because of self abuse.
I am now becoming really liberal in my thinking as a mormon. I reject the book or mormon and the book of abraham.
I still believe it is good to try to follow the word of wisdom.

Does this Kid know himself what he will be teaching for two years?
Our ward sent out missionaries who were busy playing with their mobile phones throughout sacrament and EQ. They didn't have a CLUE about Mormonism.

I have a question... (as a non Mormon)
Is anyone ever called to serve close to home?
And if so, can you go home or live there while serving?
Tavlo 3 years ago
Yeah, people are sometimes called close to home, a friend of mine got called in the next state over, in a city about 3 hours from here. But they wont go home or live at home while while on their mission.
