This is the blog that will track Elder Matthew Anderson during the course of his preparation for a mission, the call, his journey, and completion. As frequently as we can we will post pictures and updates. At this time, Matthew has chosen to serve a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. As he is seventeen years old, he has to wait until he turns eighteen before he can submit his paperwork. During the interim he will be preparing himself to serve a worthy mission, and we will be preparing what he needs to take with him. We won't know where he is going until his mission call comes in the mail, so, specifics like, will he need a heavy coat and boots, will have to wait, but, much of what he will take with him is pretty standard.
