He's Going Where?

My baby brother received his mission call on Wednesday, December 23. As he opened the envelope and began to read "you have been called to serve in the Cape Verde Praia mission", there was a moment of silence, which was followed by a chorus of "Huh? Where?" If you remember the Africa song from 9th grade, you know that Cape Verde is a small group of islands off the west coast of Africa. Cape Verde, Morocco, Algeria... am I the only one that knows this song?



Eric leaves March 24th and will be speaking Portuguese! We are so excited for you little brother! You will be a GREAT missionary!

Not only do I remember that song I sing at Matt all the time. He went to private school and didn't know Tunesia was a country. HA!
